Bakkersmolen, Windmill and steam bakery museum in Wildert, Belgium

The Bakkersmolen features a complete working windmill with 26-meter blades that turn regularly to grind grain into flour using traditional methods.

Built in 1981, the Bakkersmolen holds the distinction of being the most recently constructed traditional windmill in the Flanders region of Belgium.

The museum demonstrates the connection between wind power and bread production through exhibitions of milling techniques and baking traditions in Flanders.

Visitors can purchase fresh bread products at the bakery during weekend hours and enjoy meals at the on-site brasserie with advance reservations.

The facility combines a functional windmill with steam-powered machinery, offering demonstrations of both wind and steam power for grain processing.
