The watermill is depicted for the first time on the map of the Ghent surveyor Horenbault from 1592. Initially, it was a double company, an oil and grain mill, each located on one side of the Molenbeek. The oil mill fell into disuse and disappeared, but the grain mill survived and was recently restored to its former glory. A brand new riveted metal overshot wheel is once again spinning lustily and splashingly!
The Molenbeek Path starts at the watermill, a nature learning trail for children that focuses on the interaction of the different biotopes in the valuable stream valley.
On the street side of the mill site is the Our Lady of 7 Sorrows Chapel, built in 1866 by the owners of the mill.
