Information

In 1731, the Pendrechtse Mill built in the polder New Pendrecht. This round stone mill was built in place of a wooden hollow post mill that stood on the same site. Of these hollow post mill had the usable parts (all wheels are in the transmission of energy, a roe and further demolished wood used) be reused in the construction of the new mill. The purpose of the mill was to drain the polder. New Pendrecht

In 1842, the existing space miller in the mill converted into a house, and became a privy (outdoor toilet) and a barn with oven built near the mill.
In 1859, the wooden upper shaft replaced by a cast iron version, after which in 1876 and 1886 the two wooden rods replaced by iron rods. This is because to be regularly replaced wood but iron will last much longer. Eventually, the rods replaced only with the movement, and the upper shaft is still in use.

Mill for Restoration In 1904 built house uninhabitable. The polder board decided to build the mill. No home This was the miller with his wife and four children moved to a cottage on the Chairloisse Lagedijk, for which he received compensation. Due to the absence of a dwelling it proved difficult to find later. An miller
Since the farm increasingly higher demands started to set the water level was the dependence of the wind is a problem. In order to solve this, a motor installed in 1924 in the mill, which has a pump propelled outside of the mill. The miller would have been instructed only use the engine as it could not be otherwise. It appears that the polder board still was not satisfied with this engine, since in 1932 the streamlined system Dekker is applied. On the sails In 1958 fell the usefulness of the mill by lowering the water level in the Koedood, this could polders naturally lost their water and there was nothing more for the mill to pump. At present the Pendrechtse Mill was the only remaining wind mill on the island IJsselmonde, where there had previously been more than 50. After the mill was sold to the dentist Charloisse Jungerius, the revamped the mill on the outside, and Dekker Wicks replaced by a so-called traditional Dutch sails. The inside of the mill was empty demolished and converted into a second home. After the mill had been ample time neglected the Rotterdam municipality bought the mill in 1973. The next 5 years, the mill was reduced to its former state, then a volunteer miller at fixed times in the mill company stated.

Over the years, the polder New Pendrecht gradually built with industrial example. At one time there remained a small corner polder land, but again were plans to build on this. Homes with Although it was taken into account the construction of the mill (in a radius of 100 meters there was no buildings and roads of the business focused on the mill) this was not enough. A windmill needs to run, good undisturbed wind and this is not enough 100m uncultivated field. If a mill is stopped, this is very bad for the state of the mill, small defects are not corrected quickly, without a miller and if the wood is still the same wet and sunlit this much faster decay. In general it can be said than 1 year stand just produces as much wear as times 10 years!

Because the mill mill now also did not fit into the business that was there now come to be a new place for the mill sought. This place was found in the Southern Ridge Park, which is about three kilometers east of the mill was. The displacement of the mill the mill as both owner of territory changed. The Nature and Recreation Board IJsselmonde bought the mill, which came to stand for the symbolic sum of one guilder. Barendrecht It was guaranteed that the mill would be public. Opened Besides continued to maintain the function of the mill, as it now the water in the Southern Ridge Park was milling around. After the relocation in 1993, the mill was restored, with his original colors and also Dekker System recovered again.
