Molens Van Orshoven, Industrial mill complex in Leuven, Belgium.
The mill incorporates residential buildings, warehouses, and industrial facilities arranged in a U-shape layout across 1,641 square meters of sloping terrain.
Built in 1873 by architects Frans Vandendael and T Eul, the mill operated until 1982, using steam power before transitioning to electric machinery in 1929.
The complex represents industrial architecture of the late 19th century, featuring neoclassical facades and cobblestone courtyards typical of that period.
The mill's position near Leuven's port allowed efficient grain transportation through bulk ships during its operational years.
The structure remains the final existing example of 19th-century industrial development along the Leuven Vaartkom area.
