Moulin de la Marquise, Moulbaix, Protected post mill in Moulbaix, Belgium.
The wooden Moulin de la Marquise features 24-meter-wide sails that harness wind power to grind various grains into flour throughout the year.
Originally constructed in Blicquy during 1614, this wooden mill was relocated to Moulbaix in 1747 and remained operational until falling inactive in 1927.
The mill carries forward traditional milling techniques through generations of the Dhaenens family, who maintain the craft of artisanal flour production.
Electric motors supplement wind power during calm weather conditions, ensuring continuous grain processing capabilities for local agricultural needs.
This facility stands as the last functioning windmill in Hainaut Province and represents one of the oldest mills in the Walloon Region.
