The Latemse Molen in the East Flemish Sint-Martens-Latem is a post mill that, until its restoration in 1977, stood on a site where a corn mill already stood in 1373. This belonged to the properties of the Saint Bavo Abbey. This ban mill was destroyed during religious disputes in the second half of the sixteenth century. The current mill was built in 1614. The last major restoration dates back to 1977, where the mill was moved 88 meters to obtain better windage. In 2006 the mill was lifted from its foot because the stone beam had become too weak and the mill could fall over.

When you say Sint-Martens-Latem, you think of the painters of the famous Latem School. But did you know that there is also an old windmill whose history dates back to the 14th century? This special post mill is still capable of grinding.

In the Koutermolen you get to know the miller and learn how he passes on different messages with the blades of the mill. In other words, you learn to speak the millers' code language. In addition, the miller also likes to tell a lot about the history of the mill and how it works.

The surroundings of the mill also offer the possibility of a nice walk or bike ride.
