The Tomp is located in a marshy plain on a slightly raised hill, built in brick. The inner diameter measures approximately 4.6 meters; the wall thickness is approximately 1.75 m. The total height of the Tomp is approximately 20 m after restoration.

There was doubt about this for a long time, but that is now completely gone: the Tomp is a hull of a mill tower that was incorrectly restored as a castle tower and is today inhabited and can only be viewed by appointment. The best source about the Achelse Tomp can be found here: hamontachel.com/de-tomp Briefly explain in human language what was said in the Achel museum, where the Tomp of course also receives attention (and a model) : the man who ensured that the history of Achel was so well researched, including all kinds of excavations, was not a specialist in all periods, of course, and he also did not speak the language used in all kinds of documents from the time of the mill . And those texts leave little room for imagination: it has been a whirlwind, full stop. To miss is human. Fact: The founder of the Nagelmackers bank was born in the mill house in 1705.
