    Cassel is a fortified town on top of a hill and not far from the Belgian border with Poperinge (20 km). Beautiful views, cozy alleys, unique estaminets and a richly furnished museum in a historic mansion. This is in short what this walk in Cassel brings you. A lot of variety with a bit of history and culture, a lot of nature and local gastronomy. Enjoyment is the motto. Highlights are there for the taking in Cassel. For some, the Musée de Flandre will be the top attraction, for others the estaminets and still others will simply enjoy walking in the alleys. Let it all come over you and enjoy because this is Cassel.

      There were once about twenty windmills on the top of the Kasselberg. The last mill caught fire on October 30, 1911, which could be seen far and wide.

      In 1947, the Ruytoor mill in Arneke was purchased by the local Syndicat d'Initiative, to be opened to the public on July 14, 1949.

      The mill has two different facilities: it functions as a flour mill, which produces organic flour. An electrical device functions as an oil mill, for the production of both rapeseed oil and linseed oil.

      Near the mill there is an orientation table and a statue of Maréchal Foch.
