Moulin du Tiège, 19th-century windmill in Nil-Saint-Vincent-Saint-Martin, Belgium.
The brick tower windmill stands tall with a rotating cap and three pairs of millstones designed for different types of grain processing.
Built in 1834 by the Thienpont family, the mill remained operational until 1946 when its last miller, Joseph Jean Lorge, passed away.
The mill's name originates from the Walloon word 'tiège', referring to an old earthen path between the valleys of Nil and Ry d'Orbais.
Located near the geographical center of Belgium, the privately owned mill opens to visitors during special heritage events in Wallonia.
The windmill contains its original machinery and framework, with timber components dating back to the 17th century after extensive drying processes.
