The Sancto Antonio (better known as Sint-Antoniusmolen) is a flour mill in Halsteren from 1817. It is located on the N259 near the hamlet of Nieuwe Molen. It is a belt mill that was built in 1817.
In 1937, M. van Riet fitted the flight with rotating front hems. The valves were operated with a yield ring. In 1945 this was replaced by Busselneuzen. In 1958 this was replaced on the inner rod by the Fauël jib wing system with control boards (brake valves) (which were later fixed). At the end of the 1980s everything was replaced by Old Dutch, but in 2004 the new inner rod was given Bussel noses again, now with control valves.
The inner rod was broken in 2004, and one rod was used for 2 years. A new rod was fitted in 2006 and Van Bussel streamline noses were fitted instead of the characteristic jib blades. The mill was extensively restored in 2012
The mill was still in professional operation until the miller's death in 2011. A new miller has now been appointed and he usually runs the mill on Sunday afternoons.
At the beginning of 2021, despite protests from the Heemschut Heritage Association and the West Brabant Mills Foundation, the outbuildings were demolished by the owner.
