Although the fame of this place as "Peace Mill" refers to the First World War (a monument value that only acquired its current form in the summer of 2013), the history of the mill goes back to the third quarter of the 18th century. In 1766, a wooden post mill was built here. In 1879, the then owner replaced the wooden mill with the stone tower mill, supplemented a year later with a steam engine (in an outbuilding), so that milling could also take place when there was no wind. The current outbuilding dates from after WWI (1920).

The Vredesmolen (also "Old mill", "Van Couillie's mill" or "Shooted mill") is a former windmill in the Belgian village of Klerken (Houthulst). The former wooden grain and oil mill is located at the highest point of the village (43 meters) and was therefore used as a lookout post by the Germans during the First World War. During the final offensive it was captured by the Allies, but the Germans had already left the mill via an underground passage. The mill is a rare example of a mill ruin and became a protected monument on April 1, 1999. On the same date it also received its official name "Peace Mill". source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vredesmolen

The Vredesmolen was a GERMAN LOOKOUT POST during the Great War and is definitely worth a visit. The Vredesmolen, located in the sub-municipality of Klerken, is definitely worth a visit. In clear weather you have a beautiful view. The mill was used as a lookout post during the German occupation. There is also a secret escape tunnel at the bottom of the mill. However, this is not accessible. This would have been used effectively during the final offensive, launched on September 28, 1918, by the Germans to escape the mill unscathed. The mill was recaptured on September 29, 1918. The mill has been beautifully restored to its value. Unfortunately, a large piece of wall was blown away by a storm
