Old Windmills in Belgium

We selected 142 old windmills that are renovated and in a good condition. So, even if you can maybe not visit the interior the moment that you are there, they will certainly allow you to shoot some nice pictures. As you will see on the map, all, except 4 or 5, of these windmills are situated in Flanders. In the South there were many water mills, but not many of them are still worth a visit, as they are often not accessible or in a very bad condition. Not much effort has been undertaken to save these monuments of the past.

Translation

In Flanders a "Windmill" is called a "Wind Molen". In Wallonia you will read "Moulin à vent".

All Old Windmills with their GPS-Coordinates

We have selected the windmills for their nice outside look, so that you can always take some nice photos. But if you could visit the interior, that would even be better. If we have information about opening periods and hours, we will indicate it below this table in the "Some more info" chapter.
