De Leyssensmolen은 Lommel의 Kattenbos에 있는 가장 특징적인 기념물 중 하나입니다. 이 아름다운 역사적인 풍차는 Bosland 국립공원을 걷거나 자전거를 타는 사람들에게 사랑받는 휴식처입니다.

This wooden windmill was originally built in 1797 and has been in several locations over the centuries. That's why it's known today as "the relocated mill." In 1804, the mill was moved to Fransenstraat in Lommel, where it ground grain for the locals for many years. After falling into disrepair, it was carefully restored and rebuilt at its current location in Bosland. Today, the mill is a landmark in the landscape and a pleasant stop for hikers and cyclists. Here, history, nature, and tranquility converge—a place where you can pause for a moment and imagine how the sails once shaped the rhythm of Kempen life. 🌾🌬️

At Kattendijk, we deviate briefly to the left, to the beautiful picnic area at the Leyssensmolen. This important landmark is a corn mill with a very turbulent history. The wooden Leyssensmolen, surrounded by a green hedge and crowned with a pyramidal roof, is a must-see in Kattenbos. The mill, named after the Leyssen family who managed it from 1860 to 1905, has been a protected monument since 2001. After three relocations, the last in 1964, the mill now rests in this idyllic location amidst the vast natural landscape. If you've brought a picnic, this is undoubtedly the most beautiful picnic spot of the day.
