History
A ferry from Goidschalxoord to Rhoon existed before 1537. In 1888, a bridge was built, and in 1941, the ferry was taken out of service. The bridge was demolished after the {{ill|Heinenoordtunnel|nl}} on the A29 opened. The current name was first attested in 1841, and refers to Goidschalck Oelm who was the ambachtsheer (predecessor of mayor).{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/goidschalxoord |title=Goidschalxoord - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=3 May 2022 |language=nl}}
The nameless grist mill of Goidschalxoord was built in 1718. In 1931, a diesel motor was installed. The windmill was in service until {{circa}} 1953. In 2007, the ownership was transferred to a foundation who won the {{ill|BankGiro Loterij|nl}} Restauratie, and received €1 million. In 2011, the windmill returned to active service.{{cite web|url=https://www.molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=1318 |title=(grondzeiler) |website=Molen database |access-date=3 May 2022 |language=nl}}
