History

Paiser Meul was originally built in 1845 at Enumatil, Groningen. It was dismantled in 1890. [2] In 1898, [3] the mill was re-erected at Peize by millwright Christiaan Bremer of Adorp, Groningen for F Staal. [2] The mill was built with Patent Sails and the smock and cap were clad in Dakleer . [4] In 1936, Bremer fitted the sails with Dekkerised leading edges. In that year the mill was sold to De Goede Verwachting Coöperatie. The stage was renewed in 1961 and in 1967 the mill was sold to the Gemeente Peize. [2] The mill was restored in 1971-72 by millwright Alserda of Doezum, Groningen. The Patent sails were replaced with Common sails and the smock was thatched. In 1980, new patent sails were fitted by millwright Doornbosch of Adorp, Groningen. They were renewed in 1990, again by Doornbosch. [4]
