This was one of a series of mills used to pump water out of this polder. Its year of construction is not known.

It became redundant in 1945 when a machine operated pumping station took over the job.

In 1972 it became the property of a foundation for the restoration, which was completed in 1976.

Early 2009 it was last revised
