    On 16 October 1890, the mill, which had been screwed before 1863, burned down due to a lightning strike. The following year, the current mill was built by the millwrights Kriller from Oude Niedorp.

    In 1934, this mill was the first polder mill in North Holland to be equipped with Dekker sails. In 1942, the pumping was taken over by an electric screw pump built next to the mill. Apparently, wind power was no longer considered necessary, although: at the end of the Second World War, the mill was still in operation for a while.
