Keeses Mill is located on an offshoot of the Kempense Heuvelrug, called the Kabouterberg, on the Geelse Baan (near the Heemerf De Waaiberg) in Kasterlee. It is a grinding, typical Kempen standard mill with an open foot. The mill was built around 1650, and was then located on Dam Square in Antwerp. From there it was moved to the hamlet of Lo in Heist-op-den-Berg in 1853-'54, and in 1922 to "de Heesbergen" along the Retsebebaan in Kasterlee, to replace a windmill that had blown down.[1] Keeses Molen owes its name to one of the last owners, Cornelius (Kees) Van Laer. It has been declared a monument twice, on October 18, 1943 and on September 27, 1954. The windage is poor because the pine forest on the dune has grown too high.

Before the mill was moved to the Kabouterberg, it had a closed base and wooden breast rods. The base was changed to an open base before the mill was turned in on June 13, 1954. An important impetus in connection with the move came from the Royal Society for Nature and Urban Beauty.

After several wanderings, Keeses Mill stands at its current location between the Geelsebaan and the Heemerf de Waaiberg and is recognized and legally protected as a cultural-historical monument.

Since 2011, the mill has been owned by the municipality of Kasterlee.

Thanks to the restorations in 2020, the mill can be admired in all its glory. Keeses Mill is a grinding, typical Kempen standard or stake mill with an open foot.
