This mill was built of brick in 1866 and replaced a wooden box-type windmill from 1819. In 1892, the mill was equipped with a steam engine "of 12 horsepower." Mill operations ceased around 1920.

On December 5, 1985, the windmill was added to the Geldern municipality's list of historical monuments. Since 1991, the mill has once again had its hood and wings. It has served as a residential building since then.
