The Neer mill

The 'Neermolen' is the oldest known mill along the Bosbeek. It was first mentioned in 1330 as a ban or compulsory mill belonging to the abbess of Thorn. This means that the entire village was obliged to have its grain ground there in exchange for certain services that the abbess provided to the inhabitants. This protected and fully restored mill is unique because the millstones are not driven by a gear wheel with cogs, but directly by flat belts.
