The first time the Zwalmmolen appeared in the history books was in 1227, when it was still the property of St. Peter's Abbey in Corbie. Originally, the mill mainly processed wheat, linseed, chicory, corn, rice and even tobacco.
This traditional water mill drew its power from the Zwalmbeek, which with its current propelled an impressive technical system in the interior. A fine example of craftsmanship that is almost a millennium old. However, the Zwalmmolen is not the only mill in the area.

Opposite the Zwalmmolen is the tourist information center of Tourism East Flanders, of course but open on certain dates.

Beautiful idyllic location where everyone wants to take selfies with the Zwalmmolen in the background.
