The mill was first documented in 1530 and originally belonged to the Lindow convent (later the Lindow ladies' convent and office). It is one of the last remaining water and windmills in the region. In the Middle Ages, it served the monastery, which was one of the richest in the March of Brandenburg. Fires destroyed parts of the complex in 1805 and 1846; it was rebuilt afterwards. The current two-story main building dates from 1848 (or reconstruction after 1846) and is an example of Prussian rural architecture.
