The Pietendriesmolen, also known as Toatse Meuln (after the Taets family), Molen Ter Pieten (after the Goed Ter Pieten, the current Blauwgoed) or Driesmolen (after the hamlet) is a windmill on the border between the Meetjesland villages of Ursel, Knesselare and Aalter. It is the oldest post mill in the region. The first mention of this windmill dates from 1563, where it is mentioned in a loan book as the successor of the former Oostmolen (watermill on the Durme) of nearby Aalter.
