The Adriaan was opened on 19 May 1779. The windmill stands on the river Spaarne, at the time on the outskirts of the city. The mill was built on the existing foundations of the former Goevrouwetoren (Good Lady Tower). The Goevrouwentoren was part of the old fortification around Haarlem. Because the mill was built on top of the tower's foundations, it stood high and thus caught a lot of wind.
