The Otter is a reed-covered corn mill in Oterleek. It is an octagonal wooden mill.
There has been a mill in Oterleek since probably 1633. The predecessor of the present mill burned down in 1899. After that the miller's house and the remnants of the mill were sold and the present mill was built.
In 1963 the milling company stopped, and the mill was sold to the municipality. The municipality transferred it to Stichting De Schermer Molens in 1974.
The mill is now managed by De Raphaelstichting, which runs the mill and a baker's shop in the adjacent barn with the help of mentally handicapped people. The mill rotates and grinds regularly.
