The mill was built in 1801 as a peeling mill, probably using a mill from Mensingeweer. From a structural point of view, the mill was built purely as a peeling mill. In the Second World War, however, both peeling stones were removed and afterwards a pair of grinding stones was placed. Due to the lack of a stone loft, the grinding stones are located below the rack level, which means that the drive is by means of an additional transmission, which is quite unique. The mill was equipped with the self-pivoting system. In 2006 the mill was shut down due to its poor condition, between 2008 and 2011 the mill was restored bit by bit and is now fully millable again. The mill, which is currently owned by the Winsum Mill Foundation, is regularly put into operation by volunteers.
