The mill was originally medieval, dating from the 13^th -14^th centuries, although the current construction dates from the 17^th -18^th centuries and was built around the 19^th and 20^th centuries.

According to Guinot and Selma (2005), it is the first mill in this irrigation canal that has been preserved and has a medieval origin, probably after the 13^th century because of the epithet “Molí Nou” (New Mill) in its name. When it became the property of the monastery of nuns of La Saïdia, in the 15^th century, its use would be leased every few years to mill-owners. Its presence in the documents is diverse and intermittent: in 1672 it is included in a list of mills of the guild or Confraria de la Pluja de València (Brotherhood of the Rain of València); a century later, in 1771, it is mentioned in the Ordinances of the Mestalla irrigation canal and during the War of Independence, in 1812, works were carried out; in 1827 we know that it was leased to a mill-owner from Campanar, Vicente Llongo i Sancho; in the middle of the 19^th century it is also included in the Dictionary that was written by order of P. Madoz and at the end of the same century it is known that a steam engine was installed. At the end of the 20^th century, the mill was reconverted into an industry that exploited leather and later cloth until it was completely abandoned at the end of the century.

According to Guinot and Selma (2005) and the heritage catalogue of the PGOU of València (revised in 2013), the transformations of the mill do not allow us to appreciate the original hydraulic constructions that redirected the water from the Mestalla irrigation canal, which reached the mill embedded between fields of crops and entered from the western side, ending up in a small reservoir. However, part of the original façade can still be seen. The current structure of the Molí Nou dates back to the 18^th century but with subsequent renovations, especially in the 19^th and 20^th centuries. The original country house would have had an elongated nave, arranged transversely to the bottom and side of Mestalla irrigation canal, two levels and a gabled roof towards the main façade to the east. Its factory was made of coarse masonry, which was later polished, with the exception of new constructions, built with bricks or with materials such as uralite, used for the roofs. Regarding the hydraulic part, the expansion pond is completely abandoned. The rodets (dismantling joints) have disappeared and the cacaus (stone arches) have had to be adapted to the tubing that was used in the Mestalla irrigation canal at the end of the 20^th century. The large chimney, witness to the disappearance of the steam machinery, is located at the back of the mill.
