Windmill at dusk (1)

Description

The original windmill on this spot was built in 1845.

Very unfortunate, the whole mill burned down completely in 1976, as a result of malicious arson.

A full restoration took place in 1984, completely in analogy with the original design.

The mill is called ‘Fauconniersmolen’ and is still able to grind grain.

Location : Oordegem-Lede (Belgium)

The Netherlands is generally known as the land par excellence of windmills, but we have in Belgium also some fine specimens.
