History

Zeldenrun (known at the time as De Zwaluw) was built in 1860 and was in use up until the end of the 1950s.

It was later sold to the municipality of Oss in 1971. In 1974 De Osse Molen stichting (English: The Oss Mill foundation) was established to raise funds for restoration of the mill. The campaign was successfully funded by 1975 and restoration was completed on 24 February 1978.
