De Witte Molen is located on the border of Roksem (Oudenburg) and Bekegem, on the corner of the old Zeeweg and the Ossenweg. Originally it was a fuel mill with the name 'Rockxem mill'. The current brick mountain mill was built in 1843 by Pieter Dierickx Visschers and his wife Francisca Strubbe. During the reconstruction, many beams from the previous wooden mill were reused. Some inscriptions point to this. The Witte Molen is a mountain mill, originally equipped as a grain and oil mill with an oil cellar in the wall. The standing shaft or king spindle rotates on a beam on the lower floor and was fitted with a disc barrel to drive the stone and revolving wheel. Above each grinding chair is a small rack with an axle that is equipped with four hand spokes for pulling out the claw iron.
