The Sevensmolen is what is known as a post mill: the entire mill revolves around a huge wooden spindle attached to brick pins. This allows the mill to turn and the sails to face the wind.
This mill was originally built around 1745 in Helchteren. In 1853 it was moved to the center of Overpelt. In 1962 the mill was finally relocated to its current location in the Heesakkerheide.

The Sevensmolen in the municipal hiking park Heesakkerheide is still functioning. It was originally located elsewhere as you can read in the tips above. There is also a lot of information on signs about the mill and windmills. There is also a museum nearby and in the park you will also find a natural work of art. The mill is close to a parking lot, so you don't have to go far. visitlimburg.be/nl/wat-te-doen/sevensmolen

The mill was built in 1745 in Helchteren. In 1853 he was moved to the center of Overpelt. Local farmers still had their grain milled there until the late 1950s. The municipality purchased the mill in 1962 and had it transferred to the new Heesakkerheide park two years later. Restorations followed in 1964 and 1989. The mill is kept in operation by the non-profit organization Levende Molens Noord-Limburg.
