The current building is farmhouse in Renaissance Revival style with a tower.

It was damaged during World War II, and was restored, however it started to fall into disuse and was mainly used for storage.

In 1987, it was moved because it was surrounded by industry and in 1993, the wind mill was restored to working order.

In November 1944, the village was evacuated and Meeuwen becomes the front-line between the German army and the Allies.

One emergency house which was built after the war still exists, and has been moved next to the wind mill.
