1936 app. Medieval watermill. This ancient mill just collapsed in the late 1930's and was not rebuilt. The river Dommel was rerouted and nowadays this spot is a pond 'Molenwiel' (mill wheel) with some of the old mill stones as a monument. The mill was built in the 12th century and it was in use until it collapsed.
12th century, eh? Will Ken Follett please pick up the white courtesy phone.
WAY COOL!!
