The mill was probably built at the beginning of the 19th century. In the mill there is an engraving with the year 1884. Perhaps this engraving was made in connection with some restoration.

Werner Larsson has written down some facts about the mill at this time: "The owner of the farm in the years 1876-1914 was Johan C. Lindström (1855-1942).
The last grinding probably took place in the years 1890-1891. Emligt Lindström's statement, the mill fell into disrepair while Lindström was in America, when it was a half-farmer who let the farm fall into disrepair."

In the years 1914-1918, farm and mill were owned by Michael Ekström, Stora Gasmora.
That he had no need for the mill can be understood as he had a steam mill at Avanäset and a windmill at Stora Gasmora.

AB Gotlands Kalkverk took over ownership in 1918, but in 1961 Werner Larsson bought the farm plot, while the land where the mill is located was owned by EUROC.

During the mill inventory in 1971-1972, it was found that all that was left of the old mill was a stone ruin. But today a beautiful windmill stands there again.

With initiative and financial support from Gotland's Homeland Association and skillful work by Nils Hägring, the mill body has been equipped with a cap, mill shaft, wind spiers and wings, etc.

Nothing remains of the mill's grinding mechanism and other internal fixtures, with the exception of one of the millstones. It is the old colonel that is different from what we have seen before. The middle layer of this stone is granite, while both the top and bottom are sandstone.

The fact that the mill cannot grind is of little importance as household grinding played its role a long time ago. The essential thing is that the exterior of the mill has been recreated for the joy of all of us.

Emilia Broman has told us that the mill was a sailing mark for shipping on the north side, as well as the pilot's mark on Norsholmen, which looked like a matte red sail, stretched quite high.
