Description by the author

The Tuiltermolen was originally intended to obtain its thrust from a reservoir, formed by a depression all around. Later, the Cistercians had a branch of the Demer dug over a length of about 800 m to give the mill more momentum. This branch with a width of 4m by 1.5m depth was realised along the forest 'Molendick'; A dike (Dick) was built that could be used as a connecting road between the mill and the abbey, because there was no actual abbey mill at that time.

The last residents and elderly local residents told the members of vzw Herkenrode that the building behind the Tuiltermolen also used to have the function of a baking oven. Its shape and its location: slightly removed from the mill/farm because of the fire hazard when firing the furnace. The baking oven is fully operational again and sandwiches, speculoos and pizzas are regularly baked in it.
