The watermill is mentioned for the first time in 1424, when the farm in Mallum (known since 1188) with the watermill was sold to the lord of Borculo. He combines farm and mill in one complex, from 1449 to 1795 the farm with mill is a fief of the Lord of Borculo. The house, farm or mansion in Mallem has been inhabited by different families over the centuries. There lived the Schonevelde families, known as van Grasdorp, Viermundt and Van Keppel.
