Tips
The Amelgem Mill, also known as the Elveriksmolen, is a 19th-century watermill on the Molenbeek, formerly owned by the Grimbergen Abbey. Although it is no longer in use, it remains a picturesque spot that attracts artists.

Watermill located in the extreme north of the municipality on the southern bank of the Molenbeek near the hamlet of Amelgem (Meise/Brussegem) and the domain of Bouchout (National Botanic Garden, Meise). The overshot type flour mill has a history dating back to the 13th century; the current buildings date from the 19th and 20th centuries, while retaining an older core in the mill house.
The watermill is dilapidated and the building is private.translated by•June 1, 2020
