history

The first written mention of the full mill is known from 1608. Here it is permitted to "hang a wooden cutting jar" on the full mill. The sawmill was built and the first annual payment of three gold guilders was due on "Martini 1609 primus terminus". Sales receipts from the years 1657, 1663 and 1717 prove the durability of the mill.

In the 18th century, the fulling mill and sawmill was first transformed into an oil mill and finally into a grain mill in 1878 . A building permit from the same year reports on the construction of an undershot water wheel 4.76 m high and 0.85 m wide. In 1924 the water wheel was replaced by two turbines connected in series. At times the mill was operated with an electric motor . The sawmill stopped working in 1943, the grain mill continued to work until 1967.
