A GLORIOUS OLD BUILDING...
#AbFav_FACADES
The Sint-Gustaafsmolen is a windmill remnant in the town of De Moeren, which is part of the West Flemish municipality of Veurne .
This round stone mill of the ground sailor type functioned as a polder mill .
Mills were placed on the sluices between the polder and the outlet pool.
These mills were able to pump water upwards and thereby pump water from the polder into the outlet pools, regardless of the rivers' water level.
The mill was built between 1814 and 1820 and was given the name: De Leie .
The mill knocked out the water from De Moeren with the aid of a mortar.
The mill was still operational during the First World War, after which it was neglected.
In 1923 he lost one rod, and in 1927 the other rod, along with the hood, also blew off.
The mill was then dismantled and a pointed hood was placed on it.
The mill shaft was reused in 1935 in the new Lindemolen in Alveringem .
In 1985 the mill came into the possession of Willem Vermandere who had the hull restored and established a sculpture workshop in it.
Hope you like.
Have a lovely day and thank you, as always, M, (*_*)
