[1] De Boezemvriend was built in 1871 by millwright P Medendorp, of Zuidlaren,[1] replacing an earlier mill.

[2] The mill was restored as a landmark over the winter of 1962-63 by millwright Medendorp of Zuidlaren, grandson of the original builder.

[2] De Boezemvriend is what the Dutch described as an achtkante grondzeiler - a smock mill without a stage.

The four Common sails are carried on a cast-iron windshaft which was made in 1894 by The Hague millwrights Prins van Oranje.
