The following year, the mill and the neighbouring miller's house were insured against fire.
[1] The mill was operated by copyholders, among whom was Jens Nicolai Jappe who came from a family of millers.
After operations had completely ceased, the mill was acquired by Nyborg Municipality in 1939 in view of its place in the local heritage.
However, it continued to fall further into disrepair until a citizens' initiative led to restoration work in the 1960s and 1970s.
Extensive external restoration work, which began in 2002, was completed in 2010 with a new gallery and new shingles on the roof.
