The Leyssens mill was built at the end of the 18th century in Olmen by the De Clippele family from Aalst. In the past, the Leyssens mill was located on a hill in the middle of the forest. Because it caught too little wind there and therefore could not be operational, the mill was relocated. Before the relocation, it was completely disassembled and taken care of in the workshop of mill builder Dirk Peusens. Since then, the windmill has been showing off Kattenrijt and can turn again according to the wind direction.
