Until 1960, the water mill was in operation as a cattle feed mill. Then a great flood destroyed the water wheel. The mill was taken out of production in 1987. The last miller at Berenschot's Watermolen was Willem Buunk, the great-grandson of former owner Gerrit Willem Berenschot. The traditional part of the mill was restored in 1984. The other part of the water mill, where the grain and flour sacks used to be piled up, has been restored to its original state and opened as a restaurant in 1991.
