This old Moortsele watermill, the Dockersmolen or Mill of Hof ter Loo, belonged to the farm 'Hof ter Loo' (that is why it is sometimes called "Molen van Hof ter Loo"), which was first mentioned in writings from 1475. The farm was then owned by the Marquises of Rode. The construction of the water mill probably dates from before 1547. The only historical indication that it was rebuilt dates from 1616. In 1974, however, the constant water pressure became too much for the centuries-old mill. The iron-clad overshot wheel fell into disrepair. The mill was protected as a monument in 1993.
The entire building is currently in a very bad condition.
Peeking through one of the windows, I thought I saw that restoration (?) was being done behind the building.
