Also of importance is the pump mill, in fact a small wind engine that was placed between 1872 and 1883 to pump water from the Gaverbeek into the higher ponds. The mill was in operation until 1908 and was reconstructed in 2005.

This decorative mill is one of the charming elements of the park and contributes to the idyllic atmosphere. The park itself is a beautiful place to walk, with ponds, bridges and historical buildings.

In the eastern corner of Baron Casier Park you will find a unique pump windmill. This example is the last such small windmill from the 19th century in Flanders. Originally it was used to fill the castle ponds with water from the lower Gaverbeek. The open construction in particular makes it a unique example: you can see the entire mill mechanism from the outside.

The mill has been a protected monument since 2002. A thorough and faithful renovation followed in 2005, so that you can admire the mill in its full original glory.

FACT
Ultimately, the pump mill was only in use for about 25 years. Owner Felix De Ruyck had it built in the period 1872-1883. It was already decommissioned in 1908.
