Deze wipmolen is gebouwd in 1639 ter vervanging van een oudere molen elders in de Gemenewegse polder, waarschijnlijk uit 1570. De molen werd gebruikt voor de bemaling van deze polder tot 1957 waarna deze in reserve werd gehouden tot 1960. In dat jaar werd de molen verkocht.
De Rooie Wip is maalvaardig maar niet langer in gebruik voor polderbemaling. Hij kan tijdens draaidagen op zaterdag worden bezocht.
