On the southern edge of the old town district of Charlois stands this round stone tower corn mill. The first stone for this mill was laid in 1723; a gable stone on the south-west side bears witness to this: "Den eersten steen is gelyt so men seyt door Dirck Gerrets Buisert op den 18 april anno 1723", with the coat of arms of Charlois in the middle.
Over the years, the mill went through several owners, until the municipality of Rotterdam bought it in 1959. Two years later, De Zandweg underwent a restoration.
