Bouwel mill (Belgium)

This windmill was originally first built in 1713.

During the first world war the mill was hit by a hellish fire.
Huge restorations took place in 1925 and 1973.

The mill is still able to grind grain.

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