Windmill of Larum

The Mill of Larum is an unnamed post mill with a half-open base that is located in the church village of Larum, belonging to the municipality of Geel. The mill is located at Velveken 5. It functioned as a flour mill. It was built in 1846 near a mill house that already existed at the time. Around 1900 a steam grain mill was built near the mill. The last miller, Remi Swolfs, sold the mill to the municipality of Geel in 1973. The mill was restored and in 1977 it was ready to grind again. Now she was operated by volunteer millers and the first was again Remi Swolfs. In 1992, the mill was classified as a monument and, together with its surroundings, inscribed as a protected townscape. The nearby mechanical mill followed in 1994. A further restoration was carried out in 2002.
