The mill from the 15th century has been grinding flour again since 2021, from which bread is baked in the bakery opposite. You can taste it in the tavern, where only local meat, fish and vegetables are served alongside local beers and organic wines.

The IJzerkotmolen is a centuries-old industrial watermill on the Zwalm. In the 16th century, paper was made here and later iron was forged, copper was struck and oil was pressed. The mill used to be a double mill with two undershot wheels. Now only grain is milled here with an iron overshot wheel, which has a diameter of 3 meters and can drive four stone couples and a bowl.
