The Zuidwijksche Polder mill was built in 1811 to serve the 75 hectare Zuidwijksche polder. The mill was decommissioned in 1960, when a mechanical drainage pump took over the duties of the mill. In 1972, the mill suffered heavy damage during a fire. The Rhineland Mill Foundation took over ownership of the mill shortly after the fire, and restored it to working order in 1976. The Zuidwijksche Polder mill is open to the public.
