The year of construction of the Windlust corn mill in Westmaas is stated above the entrance door on the north side of the mill as 1853. The first miller was Pieter de Koning. In 1857, Willem Cornelis Heijkoop and his wife Dirkje van der Jagt became the owners. Source: https://www.molendatabase.nl/molens/ten-bruggencate-nr-01986

Westmaas was founded around 1440 by the Carthusian monks. It owes its existence to the efforts of the Carthusian monastery Nieuwlicht near Utrecht. In 1458, a parish church was founded that led a fairly autonomous existence. But it too was confronted with the consequences of the Reformation. Because before the Reformation, it was the monks who had control over their church and (parish) foundation, after the Reformation it was the bailiff and aldermen of Westmaas who were closely involved in everything that had to do with the church. The bailiff and aldermen fulfilled the task of supervising the church council and ultimately decided on an appeal to a minister issued by the church council. When the Reformation was also a fact in Westmaas, the church building also came into Protestant hands. In 1650, the then small building was replaced by the church on the Breestraat that still exists today. The church then became the property of the Reformed Church, which was part of the Dutch Reformed Church, which became the official Church of the Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War. After the French occupation, the name was changed to the Dutch Reformed Church, and with the church association on 1 May 2004, the Dutch Reformed Church merged with the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands and the Evangelical Lutheran Church into the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN). The church of Westmaas was truly a village church, i.e. a house of prayer for all villagers. As a result of the Secession that took place in Westmaas in 1839, this remained the Reformed Church next to a Reformed Church on the Nieuwstraat that was demolished in 2012. In 1999, a federal collaboration between the Reformed and the Reformed was established, which was converted into a merger a few years later. As a result, the church became the Village Church again. In 1965 the church tower, owned by the civil municipality of Binnenmaas, was restored and in May 1966 the restoration of the church was started, which lasted until December 1967. On 21 December 1967 the church building was put back into use. Source: https://www.vriendendorpskerkwestmaas.nl/?page_id=20
