    Den Steenen Molen, in the Belgian municipality of Boechout, is a working smock mill.
    The mill was built in 1782, despite protest, by Jan Frans Dielens where it served as an oil and grain mill. The mill served as a private mill and the Palms family was unhappy about that, because their mill (the Berderenmolen) was owned by Sint-Baafskapittel. However, Jan Frans Dielens was a lawyer for the Sovereign Council of Brabant and partly because of this protesting was of no use.

    The Boechout mill has been manned since 2003 by a team of volunteer millers. The number of millers has grown to about 10 over the years. The mill is open to the public every Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm. If there is enough wind, there is also grinding.
