Focus on postmill beddermolen in Tongerlo

A post mill dating back to 1535 but probably older. Was property of the abbey of Tongerlo. Was sold and destroyed by fire several times but always rebuild or restored. The last renovation took place in 2016-2017. A great landscape surrounds the mill.The interior looks very new but nevertheless interesting. It proves that the old techniques are stil mastered by the companies that restore and build old windmills.
