De Klepmolen, named after the 'De Kleppe' district where it is located, is a stone corn windmill that rests on four 'diesels'. The current mill was built in 1889 to replace a wooden standard mill that was destroyed by fire and dated from 1792.

In 1979 the mill became a protected monument. The municipality of Oosterzele bought the mill in 1980. The restoration of this mountain mill was completed in 2013.

Every first Sunday of the month the miller is present and the blades turn (weather permitting). The mill is also open to groups on request. The mill is active five times a year and flour can be purchased.
