The Drie Lelies on the Molenweg in Maasland is a round stone ground sailor-grain mill that was built in 1767. The mill has been owned by miller Roels for many years. A major restoration took place in the first half of the seventies of the twentieth century, after which the mill was in regular operation until the beginning of the eighties. After that there was a long period of stagnation and finally a deteriorating state.
From 2006 to 2008 a new extensive restoration took place. Since then, De Drie Lelies runs and grinds again as before. The mill has one pair of grinding stones. The flour is sold on Saturdays in the atmospheric mill. The owner is Lely Benelux B.V.
The flight of the blade cross is 24.70 metres. The Three Lilies form a duo with the adjacent Dijkmolen.
