The history of the mill dates back to 1712, when it was built as a paper mill with the permission of the Lord of Neubourg and Gulpen by Cornelis Hollman from Maastricht, a descendant of a German papermaking family. With an interruption from 1809 to 1816, rags were milled there until 1840 and paper was made by hand from the pulp. In 1845, the mill was bought by the then Lord of Neubourg, Count Oscar Franz Michiel Marchant d'Ansembourg. In 1853, the Count received permission from the province to convert the mill from a paper mill into a grain mill. Until then, grain was milled in the old Neubourg Mill near the castle. After the conversion to a grain mill was completed, grain milling was moved to this mill, and the mill near the castle was demolished. The rebuilt mill had a wooden waterwheel with a diameter of 5.12 m and a width of 1.54 m. In 1885, this wheel was replaced by another with a diameter of 1.64 m and a width of 1.36 m. In 1905, the mill was destroyed by fire, but the waterwheel was spared. In 1907, the mill was modernized, and a turbine with an iron gear was put into operation. In 1930, an electric motor was added, which was used when the water power of the Gulp River was insufficient. In 1952, the mill was sold to the Roex brothers, whose ancestors had been tenants of the mill for over a century.
