The mill has been restored several times. It was also equipped with self-swinging; the sails were given tilting flaps, which automatically adjust their position according to the force of the wind. The mill can still be admired turning regularly, thanks to volunteer millers. When it is running, the mill can also be visited inside. Visits are also possible by appointment: J. Cusiel.
