    De Liermolen is one of five watermills on the Maalbeek in the Flemish Brabant municipality of Grimbergen (one in the borough of Strombeek-Bever and four in the borough of Grimbergen). The buildings of this flour mill partly date from the 17th century and were renovated in 1759 and 1762. De Liermolen is the former abbey mill of Grimbergen Abbey and is built of whitewashed brick and sandstone. It was inhabited until the end of 1971 and was restored at the end of the 1970s. The milling department of the Museum of Older Techniques (MOT) has been housed here since 1980. The ready-to-use watermill has an intact interior and is kept running for grinding demonstrations.
    The Liermolen is named after the lords of Lire, who sold their watermill to the abbey in 1341.

      The barn of the Liermolen was set up as an exhibition space for years, but fell into such a bad state that the hall was closed to the public. The Municipality of Grimbergen is committed to carrying out the necessary improvement works in the coming years. The ultimate goal is a fully-fledged space for temporary exhibitions.
      Pending the restoration, the cleared space was set up as an open depot for the sub-collection of vehicles. Given the subject, only cargo vehicles are collected, so no passenger vehicles. Worth a look.
