This site was once home to the Volmolen (Fulling Mill), a full-water mill on the Molenbeek stream. It was built around 1600 as a fulling mill. Before 1841, it was converted into a hemp crushing and bark mill, making it the only one of its kind in Sint-Truiden. The hemp crushing mill was closed in 1872. By 1909, the mill had fallen into disrepair and was owned by lawyer Cl. Cartuyvels-Macors. The Cartuyvels family had the mill completely demolished in 1931. The site became an orchard. No above-ground remains remain.
