Construction started in 1845 by order of Martinus De Winter and it is said that the mill was not ready to grind until 1854. In 1891 the heirs sold the mill to Jan-Baptist Heylen, the then mayor of Oelegem. The installation was used less and less due to the advent of mechanical mills. The mill was last active in commercial service towards the end of the First World War. Since that time, the building has served various other functions: garage, warehouse, room for the Catholic Workers' Youth and as a country retreat. During the Second World War, the masonry was damaged by shelling and in 1942 the mill was given the status of monument. In 1962 the exterior was restored, which temporarily prevented further decay. Since 1982, the local history circle De Brakken van Oelegem has taken care of the monument.

It is popularly known as 'the stone mill' to distinguish it from that other mill in Oelegem, a wooden windmill on the road to Wijnegem, which burned down in 1940.
