    The Watermill on the Winge or Gempemolen was the abbey mill of the Norbertine nuns of Gempe, which was already mentioned in 1229 and has been in private hands since 1728. On 12 April 1944, the mill was protected as a monument. During this period, the miller's house was also known as a remote café. During the Second World War, a lot of milling was still done, but the activity slowly died out. After years of inactivity, the Brewery of Haacht bought the Gempemolen in the 1990s to convert the miller's house into a café after a thorough restoration.
