On this mill rampart, a mill was mentioned as Bonnesiere as early as 1519. In 1903 the mill was blown over. The old mill rampart, purchased by the city in 1906, was exposed to excavations for a few years, so that the die disappeared. In 1911, with the financial support of contractor Emmanuel De Cloedt, a three-attic post mill was transferred from Olsene. The mill in Bruges was never put into operation. In 1943 it became a protected architectural heritage.

The Bonne-Chièremolen in the city of Bruges is located on the Kruisvest, on the edge of the city center. The mill was built in 1844 and functions as a grain and oil mill.
The mill was built in Olsene in 1844. On May 16, 1876, the mill was sold to a miller in Bruges named Rotsaert Edouard. In 1903, the Bonne-Chièremolen was toppled by a violent storm. Part of the mill ended up in the canal. In 1906 the mill wall of the old Bonne-Chièremolen was purchased to rebuild the mill. The mill is still there today, but it cannot be visited.
