This polder mill was built in 1879 and drained the Vereenigde Groote and Kleine polders.

The mill, popularly called "De Hommel" because of its thick and short hull, was in operation until 1944.
In that year the polder was flooded by order of the German occupier. After the war, the mill became the housing for an electric pumping station.
In 1967 lightning struck and the mill burned down. The mill was restored in 1972 and 1991, largely preserving the charred wooden octagon.

The mill is still running from time to time and can be visited at those times (and by appointment).

The mill is owned by the municipality of Haarlem and has the status of a national monument.
