Katerheide mill, Stellingmill in Sint-Mariaburg, Belgium.

The Katerheide mill features a stone construction with adjustable mechanisms allowing the top section to rotate according to wind direction for optimal grinding performance.

The first documented mention of a mill at this location dates back to 1267 through a Latin deed, referring to it as the molendinum de Karrevort.

The mill stands as a central point for community gatherings where residents learn about traditional grain processing methods and agricultural practices.

Visitors can reach the mill by taking tram line 65 from Antwerp to Sint-Mariaburg, with regular guided tours available throughout the year.

In 1438, miller Peter Boudenssone rented the mill for an annual payment of 32 sister rogge, a historical measurement of rye grain.
