The Vredesmolen (also "Old mill", "Van Couillie's mill" or "Shooted mill") is a former windmill in the Belgian village of Klerken (Houthulst). The former wooden grain and oil mill is located at the highest point of the village (43 meters) and was therefore used as a lookout post by the Germans during the First World War. During the final offensive it was captured by the Allies, but the Germans had already left the mill via an underground passage. The mill is a rare example of a mill ruin and became a protected monument on April 1, 1999. On the same date it also received its official name "Peace Mill".
