Molenbeek-Pontbeek, Brook in western Brussels, Belgium
The Molenbeek-Pontbeek flows through multiple municipalities of Brussels, including Dilbeek, Berchem-Sainte-Agathe, Jette, and the City of Brussels.
The brook's name originates from Dutch, combining 'molen' meaning mill and 'beek' meaning brook, reflecting its historical connection to water-powered mills.
Multiple historical mills were constructed along the Molenbeek-Pontbeek, demonstrating the industrial development and agricultural practices of past generations.
The waterway serves as a natural drainage system for western Brussels, connecting several neighborhoods and contributing to the region's water management.
This brook forms part of a larger network of waterways named Molenbeek across Belgium, each playing a role in their local watershed systems.
