The Artemeersmolen, also known as Bollaerts molen, is a round, stone corn windmill and was built in 1810.

The mill is located on the border between Poeke (just within East Flanders) and Kanegem on a specially constructed mill hill.

The mill was enlarged in 1882.

The mill last turned in 1952. The children of miller Maurice Bollaert felt little for their father's work. They continued as farmers.

After years of decay, the mill was restored to working order in 1975-1977.

Since 1985, the mill and its surroundings have been protected because of their historical and industrial-archaeological value.

In 2014, the mill was purchased by professional miller Mike Ekelschot and put it back into professional use as a baker's mill.

The mill house was renovated in the following two years and various (technical) parts of the mill were replaced. In 2017, the mill received four new sails and rod wedges. The braces, sprouts and turret were replaced.

In 2018 and 2019, a storage shed was built next to the mill.

In 2024, the mill will not only have grown into a producer of biomeal (with the playful name Flourpower NV), but the mill will also supply sufficient green energy to support the mill's production activities.
