This 18th-century spinner mill is known as both Nijhuizumermolen and Monkburenmolen. The thatched lower tower is unique for a spinner head mill. The mill was used as a windmill until about 1935. A diesel engine was then installed. The mill is now run by volunteer millers and can usually be visited on Saturdays. When the mill is running you are welcome to take a look in and around the mill.
