The 1st mill or lower mill of the Molenviergang Aarlanderveen is located about 1 km south of Aarlanderveen. The current mill was built in 1924 to replace an earlier mill from 1786, which burned down that year. The replacement mill was not new: they found a surplus mill in Zoetermeer. The polder mill has been owned by Stichting Molenviergang Aarlanderveen since 1963. The interior is equipped with a paddle wheel with a diameter of 6.70 m. This paddle wheel was modified in 1970 in connection with the lowering of the polder level. The mill is the lower mill for draining the polder on the west side of Aarlanderveen and is the gauge mill.
