The bricks grain-mill were built in 1837, after the previous mill (construction year 1499) in a hurricane in 1836, was devastated. The mill was protected as a monument and lies within a protected rural sight. In spite of these protection measures could not be prevented that houses in the surroundings were built what ensures present a serious wind obstruction.
