This is a piece of Haspengouw heritage, located on the Melsterbeek in the hamlet of Metsteren near Sint-Truiden. The water mill would go back to the 12th century, it was once part of the monastery domain Nonnemielen. It is a small square farm with a grain mill and a special bakery along the Melsterbeek. It has now been converted to guest rooms. And they also have a holiday home. Nearby is a nostalgic cafe.

The oldest mentions of this mill date back to the 12th century and it was once part of the monastery grounds. It is still relatively intact and the mill is complete: three stone couples, a grain cleaner and a mill for the production of white flour. The base may date from the 13th century, but the current mill house and mill date from 1837. Over time, the mill was supplemented with stables and barns so that you now get the impression of a square farm.
Metstermolen currently has three guest rooms in the old miller's house.
