The former mill town of Rebecq still has two showpieces: the Grote Molen and the Kleine Molen. The Great Mill, made of brick and stone, was built between 1858 and 1860 on foundations from the 16th century. Barley, oats and rye were ground with this mill. Today it is a museum dedicated to the mining of purple stone from Quesnast, a commune near Rebecq. Only wheat was milled in the Kleine Molen. It now contains a forge and an old engine room that still works.

The Arenberg Mills complex is located in an old water mill from the end of the 14th century. The Brasserie Lefebvre is also located there. On the first floor is the Porphyry and Quarry Museum which describes the history of this stone from the great Quenast quarry.
