De Welvaart was built in 1865 and survived World War II as one of the few windmills in Limburg without major damage. It remained in operation until the 1950s, when it was purchased by the municipality and restored.

De Welvaart is a bell mill on the Molenweg in Horn. The stone mill was built in 1865, not far from the De Hoop mill. Like the De Hoop mill, De Welvaart survived the Second World War without major damage. De Welvaart was in operation until the end of the 1950s. In 1970, the municipality bought the mill, only to restore it a few years later.
