The Roomanmolen is a beautiful monument, located in the heart of Waasland near the Dries and church in a beautiful green environment.

On nice days and once the wings start turning, it doesn't take long before visitors come to get acquainted with the working machine. The millers are of course happy to provide a word of explanation with an accompanying demonstration.

The Roomanmolen, built in 1847, is the highest stone windmill in Flanders and the only remaining mill of the five windmills that Sint-Pauwels used to have. The mill is impressive due to its height of 24 meters. In addition to the ground floor, there are 6 attics. During the restoration in 2019-2020, the red bricks were whitewashed.

The outbuilding with chimney, which was erected in 1870, once housed a steam engine with a separate mill for grinding in windless weather.

Opening hours: from April 1 to October 31, every first and last Sunday of the month from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
