Windmill of Kerrebroeck

The Windmill of Kerrebroeck is a windmill remnant in the West Flemish town of Jabbeke, located near Dorpsstraat 88.

There was probably a small post mill on this site from 1844, which was placed there without a permit. In 1848 a larger post mill was built. In 1881 a steam engine was also purchased that was used when there was not enough wind. In 1901, in order to improve the windage, the post mill was placed on a stone elevation with a gallery. In 1911 the elevation was built higher and a round stone tower mill was created. Parts from older mills were also used for the furnishing of this. It was a very high mill that had five attics. In the meantime, a petrol engine had been purchased in 1910, later a gas engine. In 1961 it was replaced by a diesel engine.
