The Terpensmole near IJlst is a polder mill of the spinning head type. The mill originally stood near Sneek. The mill is owned by the De Fryske Mole Foundation. The mill was restored in 1981-1982 and officially inaugurated by the mayor of Sneek on National Mill Day, May 8, 1982. Here, the mill serves as a reserve drainage system for the polder, with outflow into the Geau (Geeuw) River. In 2011, after its relocation, it was renamed "Terpensmole."

This mill can be regarded as the continuation of the spinning mill in Grou, called Minne Finne, which had fallen into disrepair there in the course of the 1970s and 1980s and no longer had a destination on site.
Because the municipality of Sneek would lose a mill (namely the spinning head of Oppenhuizen, which was moved to Koudum to become a flour mill), it was decided to locate this mill in Sneek as an exchange.
