Sevens Mill Pelt

Description

The Sevensmolen, which was built around 1745 in Helchteren, currently stands in the Heesakkerpark. This is the highest point of Overpelt.

It is a standard or post mill . This means that the entire mill box revolves around a huge wooden spindle, which is mounted on brick dice.

This system ensures that the blades can be placed towards the wind. The mill still works .

In 1853 he was moved to the center of Overpelt. Local farmers had their grain ground there until the late 1950s. The municipality bought the mill in 1962 and had it transferred to the new Heesakkerheide park two years later. Restorations followed in 1964 and 1989. The mill is operated by the vzw Levende Molens Noord-Limburg.
