    Hiking

    The Grote Molen is a water mill on the Demer, located at Schulensebaan 14 in the Belgian municipality of Lummen. This undershot mill functioned as a crushing mill, sawmill and corn mill.

    The mill was already expanded with a hemp crushing section before 1844. This expansion was located on the other side of the Demer, on the territory of Schulen. The crushing mill was converted into a sawmill shortly after 1875, which was continued with mechanical drive in 1929, but was destroyed during the Second World War.

    This double mill is located on both banks of the Demer, which forms the border between the municipalities of Lummen and Herk-de-Stad (sub-municipality of Schulen). The history of the mill can be found on the website of the municipality of Lummen: lummen.be/node/1523
