From the bridge you have a beautiful view of one of the few water mills that are still on the river Laan.
The water mill is already mentioned in 1492.
Don't let yourself be fooled here :-)

The watermill in Terlanen can be found at the intersection of Moskesstraat and Molenstraat in the village of the same name. You have just arrived here in Overijse, but the border with Huldenberg is not far. The mill itself is located on the Laan that flows along it on the east side. On the north side of the mill runs – largely piped in – the Kleine Laan and both rivers come together on the other side of the Molenstraat.

According to the heritage file, it is a “Well preserved site with an orchard with a pool to the north of the buildings, along Kleine Lane partly surrounded by pollard trees. The cobbled Moskensstraat runs alongside the buildings. To the southwest is a hawthorn hedged garden. In this well-preserved site, the still existing mill layout has important industrial-archaeological value, with preserved water wheel, locks and interior work. To the southwest of the site, traces of an old connection between the Laan and the Kleine Laan are still visible. The Ferraris map, second half of the 18th century, also shows that the mill was located on an island in the Laan. A drop of 0.4 meters has been created twice along the mill.”
