Focus op stellingmolen muizelmolen in Hulste

This towermill with gallery is visible from far away. A beautiful setting amidst the fields. This brick mill was built in 1840 after it's wooden predecessor was burnt to the ground.There are 2 pairs of millstones on the stone floor. Diameter of the wings is 25 meters. In 1995 the last restoration was finished. Today the mill is not working anymore because there is no miller and there is lack of maintenance. Hopefully this wil change in the future.
