The Moulin de Spiennes was the village's mill and was founded before 1626 to grind grain. In 1754, the Count of Berlaimont, Lord of Spiennes, owned the mill. He invoked the banality of this mill, basing himself on an act from 1526. According to the Land Registry Atlas PC Popp (ca. 1860), the "meal water mill" stood on plot section B no. 216 and was in the possession of De Glymes, Count Henri-Nicolas, owner, Harmignies.
Later in the 19th century there were important changes: the building was raised higher (6 floors) and the water wheel was replaced by a turbine. There are currently apartments located in the fairly high building.
