The Luizenmolen (Anderlecht Windmill) is a post mill on Vlindersstraat (Butterfly Street) in Anderlecht (Brussels-Capital Region).
The application for the construction of the Luizenmolen was submitted in 1862. In 1864, it was built behind the miller's house. Due to the construction of a barn on that site, it was moved to a bank next to the farm buildings. This mill hill is still visible today. In 1939, the family of the last miller sold the mill, which had fallen into disuse in 1928, to the municipality of Anderlecht. During the war, in 1942, the mill was listed, which did not prevent its decline, and it had to be demolished in 1955. Thanks to a dynamic team concerned about local heritage, a copy (on a slightly reduced scale) of the mill was rebuilt on a new mill hill constructed about thirty meters from the original bank. The working mill was inaugurated in May 1999. It was also designated a protected area in 2007. The mill will be out of service at the end of 2023 due to urgent repairs to the sails.

Not clear why this is supposed to be a road cycling highlight. It's just a general landmark without any particular significance for road cyclists.
