History

The date that De Jansmolen was built is unknown. The mill was marked on a map of Smallingerland dated 1848. The mill was at work until 1952. During the summer it drained an area of 200 pondemaat (73 ha; 180 acres) and during the winter it drained an area of 60 pondemaat (22 ha; 54 acres).[2] The mill was restored in 1954 and 1967. On 9 November 1978, the mill was sold to Stichting de Fryske Mole (English: Frisian Mills Society). The mill was restored again in 1990.[2]
