Once widespread, horse mills are now rare in Flanders. Powered by the horse rather than the wind, this type of mill was used to compensate for the vagaries of the weather, thus supplementing the production of windmills. Also known as the "Rosmeule" or "Rosse Mulle" in Flemish, the principle is simple: the horse turns outside the building and activates the two millstones by means of a beam protruding from the roof ridge.2010 saw the construction of this mill using old materials, by the Yser Houck association, based on documents and archives found and plans drawn up by the Association Régionale des Amis des Moulins. The Volckerinckhove horse mill has no sieving mill, so the flour is not separated from the bran. Nowadays, the horse is only present at major events. Don't hesitate to come and discover this unique mill. Visits are possible on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
