    The Bellemolen is a watermill in Essene that was built in 1149 by the Abbey of Affligem, after the Bellebeek was straightened. this mill served as a stamping and grist mill. The name "Bellemolen" is taken from a belle (or counter), a barrier that gives access to a fenced piece of land. However, the mill was destroyed during the Wars of Religion. The current miller's house dates from the 17th century.
    For decades, the mill was a beautiful luxury restaurant and owned by the Van Ransbeeck sand painter family from Hekelgem. In 2001 the restaurant was closed and the Bellemolen was left to the grandson.
