This stone mountain mill from 1861-62 is the last remaining of the many mills that Rijkevorsel once had. Grain has certainly been milled here since 1440. At the start of the twentieth century, 2 standard mills and 2 stone upper porters were still running in Rijkevorsel. In addition, there were also many horse mills in our municipality, especially in the nineteenth century, some of which were also equipped as oil hammer mills. The belt mill was protected as a monument on 24 June 1993.

The windmill from 1861 is still capable of turning. The working mill can be visited every second and last Sunday of the month. Every time between 1 and 5 pm.
Many picnic tables on the lawn in the mill garden invite you to linger.
