    One of the former watermills of Villers-le-Temple, beautifully restored but the mill wheel is no longer present. It was a grain mill owned by the commanderie. The mill was a so-called banmolen or coercion mill, which means that the neighboring farmers had to have their grain milled in this mill.

      Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention that dates back to pre-Christian times. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could easily be replaced by a watercourse - natural or artificial - in order, for example, to grind grains into grain.
      There are essentially two different ways to drive water mills: either the water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or the water flow is guided above the wheel and falls onto the blades, with this design there is greater efficiency due to natural gravity.
