The Molen Ter Klare, also known as Molen Ter Claere, is a historic windmill in Sint-Denijs, a sub-municipality of Zwevegem in West Flanders. It is a stone ground-sailer that originally dates from before 1415. The current mill was rebuilt in 1923 after an earlier version was destroyed during the First World War. The mill is located at the highest point in the region, at 76 metres, and offers beautiful views.
The mill has been protected as a monument since 1944 and is used for grinding grain. It is equipped with three grinding pairs and a grain cleaner. Although the mill has suffered damage in the past, including a fire in 1950, it has been restored and remains an important heritage piece2.

The Molen Ter Klare is a historic windmill in Sint-Denijs-Westrem, a sub-municipality of Ghent. Built in 1792, this stone ground-sailer served as a corn mill for centuries. The mill was restored several times in the 20th century to preserve its heritage value and is now a protected monument. Although it is no longer in operation, the Molen Ter Klare is a striking landmark in the landscape and is a reminder of the rich milling history of the region.
