The Sint-Elisabethsmolen (Sint-Elisabeth Mill) was a watermill on the Leubeek, belonging to the Sint-Elisabethsdal Monastery. Only a ruin remains of this mill.
The oldest mention of the mill dates back to 1278. At that time, the monastery received permission from the Lord of Horn to demolish the Roggel watermill on the Roggelse Beek and rebuild it near the monastery. The mill was owned by the monastery, but had to pay tribute to the lord for its use. It was a compulsory mill, and in 1416, it was again decreed that the entire village of Roggel had to have grain milled at this mill. The authenticity of this document was later questioned: the farmers preferred to grind at the Leumolen.
In 1796, the monastery was dissolved by the French, and the mill was confiscated and sold. In 1840, it was replaced by a stone mill, larger than the Leumolen. It served as a grain mill, sawmill, and oil mill. In 1844, the mill was set on fire, but was rebuilt.
When the German troops withdrew in 1944, the mill was still used to store ammunition. This was destroyed by the retreating soldiers, along with the mill itself. A ruin remained.
Renovation of this mill began in 2014. Starting from the ruins, a modern superstructure was built, into which a large, modern waterwheel was installed in 2015. This is connected to a generator that produces electricity, which is used, among other things, by the adjacent restaurant.
