The drainage of the Breukelerveen and Tienhoven water board was originally carried out by two barges (built in 1649 and 1684) at the northern end of the Scheendijk-Noord in Breukelen. They discharged their water directly south of the Weersluis lock into the Vecht River. The mills were shut down in 1830 and demolished in 1840. By that time, the area of the Loosdrechtse Plassen had been created by peat extraction. In the eastern corner of Tienhoven, the land remained in agricultural use, and the farmers there suffered from significant flooding. They joined forces, established the Oostelijke Binnenpolder (Eastern Inner Polder), and had their own mill built, which discharged water into the Breukeleveen and Loosdrechtse Plassen. The necessary land was purchased in 1831, and the mill and adjacent lock were put into operation in 1833. It is suspected that an old upper house (from a demolished mill) was used in its construction. (https://www.molens.nl/ontdek-molens/alle-molens/de-trouwe-wachter-te-tienhoven)
