History

The Annemie was built in 1891 by Antonius van Himbergen from Bladel, who also built De Roosdonck in Nuenen, and was since used as a gristmill. In 1957 the mill was refurnished as a house, the inner workings were removed, though main parts like the central axis and wheel were kept. In 1991 the mill was restored and after consecutive maintenance works between 2005 and 2019 the mill is presently in reasonable condition. The Annemie is privately owned and used as living accommodation as well as an office, so visits are not possible.
