Focus on towermill Molen Ter Zeven Wegen in Denderwindeke

This mill was originally built as a Post mill but replaced in 1863 by the present tower mill after the wooden one burnt down. Some years later the tower was raised which you can see on the form of the tower. The new part is built vertical and not conical as the older part. The roof of this windmill has the saracene or onion form.
