Tips

Where one of the two mills of the Ten Duinen Abbey stood centuries ago, today stands the South Abbey Mill. The current South Abbey Mill of Koksijde dates from 1773 and originally stood in Houtem near Veurne (Lootvoet mill). It was demolished there in 1951-1952 and rebuilt in Koksijde in 1953.

Miller Patrick Geryl is still the only remaining full-time miller in Belgium. Anyone who visits the mill hangs on his every word: he is happy to show you around his habitat: the South Abbey Mill. Feel the wind playing with the mill, see how the grain is ground into flour and smell the history. Highly recommended!

Practical:
Individuals can visit the South Abbey Mill during normal opening hours from April to September.

€2 for an adult, €1 for minors. Address mill: Jaak Van Buggenhoutlaan 120 (near the Abbey Museum).

The South Abbey Mill was built in 1773. It originally comes from Veurne.
It was later moved to Koksijde. During operation, red linen cloths are stretched over the wings. The mill can be visited for a fee of €2.
