The Meerswal water mill was built in 1903 to replace an almost 100 year old mill that had been destroyed by a fire earlier that year. The mill suffered heavy damage during a storm in November 1970, but was restored a few years later when it was bought by the Fryske Mill Foundation. The Meerswal mill is no longer in active use, however it is open to the public, and guided tours are available by appointment.
