Scherpenberg mill, Tower mill in Westmalle, Malle, Belgium

The Scherpenberg mill is a tall brick tower mill with a dark brown, tapering body, built in 1843 in Westmalle. Four wooden sails with red and white leading edges and dark timber lattice form an X across the upper half, attached to a dark cap. Small windows and a green-doored entrance sit near the ground, and white-painted gearing is visible at the hub.

Two brothers, Joannes and Petrus Mullenbrück, constructed the mill in 1843 as a grain-grinding facility. Joannes remained as the primary operator while Petrus later relocated to the Dutch town of Ossendrecht.

The mill is a protected monument since 13 March 1979. Every Sunday between 13:30 and 17:00 the sails turn and grain is ground for animal feed, up to 600 to 700 kg a day. The mill is owned and run by the municipality of Malle, which operates it only temporarily.

The mill stands on the Scherpenberg in Westmalle and is run by volunteers of the municipality of Malle. It turns every Sunday afternoon from 13:30 to 17:00, grinding grain for animal feed at roughly 600 to 700 kg a day. Outside those hours it is only operated occasionally, so time a visit to a Sunday.

The mill is a protected monument since 13 March 1979. Its four sails are mounted on welded steel stocks 22.4 m long, made by Peel of Gistel and fitted in the old Flemish manner. Inside are two pairs of millstones, one of French runner and German bed stones.
