"This millstone is what remains of a stone smock mill in the village centre of Wontergem. It was built in 1805, burned down on 28 November 1892 and was then converted into a steam mill. The mill body was demolished in 1917," as can be read on the monument.

A Millstone buried under the rubble of years long past has been promoted to a monument in Wontergem. The stone belonged to the mill where cycling legend Lucien Buysse still worked as a servant.
