Steenvoorde is a village marked by the milling tradition, with several mills still in operation. The Drievenmeulen, with its large sails is imposing. Nearby the Steenmeule is just as impressive. A visit to the latter is a must to understand how a windmill works.

This wooden standard mill with an extra long silhouette has been standing along the road to Cassel since 1901. The mill was built in 1774 in Somain. This oil press mill, converted into a grain mill, was active until 1974 and was completely restored. It is on the list of historical monuments.

The mill was founded in 1774 in Somain, by Quentin Hennion. There it served as an oil mill.

In 1901 the mill was purchased by Mr Desbonnets and moved to Steenvoorde, where it served as a flour mill. In 1938 the two wooden rods broke and were replaced by iron ones. The hood was also damaged and was replaced by one that came from the Vanneufville mill, which was located in Sint-Silvesterkappel.

On November 13-14, 1940 there was a storm in which about twenty windmills were seriously damaged and the roof and blades of the Drievenmeulen were also destroyed. The roof was replaced by that of the Ledringem windmill, which was destroyed by war in May 1940.

The miller ceased work in March 1974 and has since continued to show tourists around his mill, which he has continued to maintain well. However, the miller, and later his wife, died and in 1988 the mill was put up for sale. In 1993 she was purchased by the municipality of Steenvoorde, where restoration work took place from 1995-1997. The mill was rededicated on October 3, 1998.
