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.
