St. Elizabeth's Mill

The Sint-Elisabethsmolen was a watermill on the Leubeek that belonged to the Klooster Sint-Elisabethsdal. Only a ruin remains of this mill.
The oldest mention of the mill dates back to 1278. Then the monastery received permission from the lord of Horn to demolish the watermill of Roggel on the Roggelse Beek and re-erect it at the monastery. The mill was owned by the monastery, but it had to pay the lord for its use. It was a mill and in 1416 it was once again decreed that the whole village of Roggel would grind on dye moelen. The authenticity of this document was later questioned: the farmers preferred to grind on the Leumolen.
