The mill was used to grind grains during the famine that affected the inhabitants of Flandres in the Second World War. It stopped work in 1950. In 1994 and 1995, the roof, walls and mill mechanism were restored, with the support of the National Park, by a farmer who had used the mill. On the lower level, you can see the room that houses the horizontal wheel. Water that has gone through the mill flows back into the river. From the pond that served to regulate water flow, you follow the béal (channel) which brought water to the mill.
