    The 18th-century mill was an undershot mill that used the current on the Demer to grind grain. Bakers and brewers have used the miller's expertise here for centuries. The mill is currently closed off from the Demer, making grinding impossible. It is now privately owned and converted into a general practice. You can still view the interior of the mill via the public entrance area of the practice.

    Hiking

    If you follow the Heritage Walk in Zichem you will pass this mill.

    Info about the Heritage Walk (3.3 km)
    The walk starts at the station and takes you along the old railway bed to the Maiden's Tower. Via the former Geuzenkerkhof, the market square, the Sint Eustachiuskerk and the Elzenklooster you walk along the banks of the Demer to the watermill and back to the station. To complete this loop of 3.3 km, a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Demer was installed behind the De Hemmekes hall.
