The Four Winds Mill was built in 1891 to serve a 385 hectare polder in the United Raaksmaat and Niedorperkoggeboezem district. At the end of the second world war the husbandry of the polder was taken over by an electric pump, and the mill was converted to a restaurant, although this closed down a few years later. The mill was restored in 1973 by the West Frisian Mills Foundation, and is now be seen in operation on a regular basis.
