History
The Annemie was built in 1891 by Antonius van Himbergen from Bladel, and was since used as a gristmill. In 1957 the mill was refurnished as a house, the inner workings were removed, though the parts were not destroyed. In 1991 the mill was restored and in 2005 it was once again in working order.
