History
The flour mill De Swaen, located on the Spuidijk, was originally built in 1703 as De Windlust. Not much is known about the history before about 1900.
In 1931 the mill burned down completely due to arson and was rebuilt in 1932; Many parts of the De Vrede/Molen van Rosmolen flour mill in Strijen were used, which had recently been dismantled. This was not possible without tricks: the 'new' hood was on the small side and was made to fit on the existing hull with some effort.

De Swaen, formerly known as Windlust, is a windmill built in 1703 in the municipality of Hoeksche Waard, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The mill is located at Spuidijk 29 in Nieuw-Beijerland. It is a round stone corn mill of the ground sailor type with a thatched roof. Nowadays the mill is only used as a reception center, because the interior has been almost completely demolished. Only the upper shaft with the upper wheel is still present in the mill.
