Localizado na pitoresca freguesia do Jardim do Mar, na sua origem pertenceu a José Maria Ferreira e sua esposa Maria Leopoldina Sumares Ferreira, não havendo registos da data da sua construção.
Sendo o Jardim do Mar muito rico em água ao contrário das suas vizinhas freguesias
do Paul do Mar e do Estreito da Calheta, este moinho laborava durante todo o ano, o que levava o seu proprietário a chegar a dormir no local entre o mês de Outubro e a altura do Natal, resultado das inúmeras solicitações para moer o trigo por parte das pessoas desta freguesia e arredores.
Após a morte de José Maria Ferreira em 1955, o moinho ainda continuou a funcionar por mais alguns anos.
Com o passar dos tempos e com a escassez do trigo o moinho deixou de laborar, sendo que no ano de 2005, foi doado à Junta de Freguesia local pelos seus Herdeiros.
No ano seguinte deu-se início às obras de restauração, estando no presente apto a moer o trigo, afirmando-se essencialmente como um local apreciado pelos muitos turistas que circulam na vereda que liga o Jardim do Mar aos Prazeres.
The Water Mill
Located in the picturesque parish of Jardim do Mar, originally belonged to José Maria Ferreira and his wife Maria Leopoldina Sumares Ferreira, with no records of the date of its construction.
As Jardim do Mar is rich in water unlike its neighbors parishes, Paul do Mar and Calheta, this mill labored throughout the year, which led his owner to get to sleep in the district between October and Christmas time, as a result of the numerous requests to grind wheat by people of this parish and surrounding areas.
After the death of Maria José Ferreira in 1955, the mill has continued to function for several more years.
As time passed by and due to scarcity of wheat the mill stopped working and in 2005 was donated to the local Parish Council by the heirs.

Die Wassermühle
Besagte befindet sich in der pittoresken Gemeinde Jardim do Mar und gehörte ursprünglich José Maria Ferreira und seiner Frau Maria Leopoldina Sumares Ferreira, jedoch fehlen jegliche Aufzeichnungen über das Erbauungsdatum.
Da Jardim do Mar, im Gegensatz zu den Nachbargemeinden Paul do Mar und Estreito da Calheta, über sehr viel Wasser verfügt, stand die Mühle das ganze Jahr über in Betrieb. Diese Tatsache bewegte den Besitzer dazu, zwischen Oktober und Weihnachten dort zu übernachte, um die zahlreichen Aufträge zum Mahlen des Korns bewältigen zu können, die er seitens der Bewohner der Gemeinde sowie aus der Umgebung erhielt.
Nach dem Tod von José Maria Ferreira im Jahre 1955 blieb die Mühle noch ein paar Jahre in Betrieb, jedoch wurde dieser nach einiger Zeit aufgrund von Weizenknappheit eingestellt und die Mühle im Jahre 2005 von den Erben der Gemeindeverwaltung gestiftet.
Beginnend mit dem darauf folgenden Jahr wurden Restaurierungsarbeiten durchgeführt, sodass die Mühle heute wieder im Stande ist zu mahlen und besonders von den vielen Touristen wertgeschätzt wird, die der schmalen Küstenstrasse folgen, welche Jardim do Mar mit Prazeres verbindet.
