Paiser Meul was built in 1893, but wasn’t newly built at the time. The mill was originally built in 1845 in Enumatil (Groningen), where it was in operation until 1890. It wasn’t a long-distance move; the two villages are only 15 kilometres apart. Until 1971 Paiser Meul had a distinctively Groningen feel to it. During a large-scale renovation in the early seventies, the hull’s wooden cover—a common feature of mills in Groningen—was replaced by a thatch cover. This gave the mill its more typical Drenthe appearance.
