In 1973-1974 it was put on its current place and since then it is put in operation regularly to drain the 650 hectare large Twiske-polder with its mortar, as under-draining of the polder Oostzaan. The mill stood in Barsingerhorn till the sixties of the last century, where it drained the Hooglandspolder for a long time.
Nature park and recreation area Het Twiske is located northwest of Amsterdam, between the villages Oostzaan, Landsmeer and Den Ilp.
