It is an octagonal tower mill with a stone base, which is covered with wooden planks above the tower. Above that is the wooden body. The mill has 20.80-metre-long sails, which were fitted with sails during the last restoration from 2004 to 2005. The mill has been owned by the municipality of Haren since 1940 and is operated by volunteer millers. In 1973, the mill and the adjoining barns – some of which are tiled, some thatched and some made of wood (and some of stone) – were designated as a national monument. The mill features a mill biotope. Nowadays, the mill is mainly used to grind animal feed for a local farmer. In the past, the mill was frequently used as a training mill for new volunteer millers and is still regularly put into operation by a volunteer miller.
