Moulin du Tiège, 19th-century windmill in Nil-Saint-Vincent-Saint-Martin, Belgium.
Description
Moulin du Tiège is a 19th-century brick tower mill in Nil-Saint-Vincent-Saint-Martin with a rotating cap. It contains three pairs of millstones that were designed for processing different grain types.
History
The mill was built in 1834 by the Thienpont family and operated until 1946. Its closure marked the end of a long milling tradition in the area.
Culture
The mill's name comes from the Walloon word 'tiège', meaning an old earthen path between valleys. This reflects how the place was deeply rooted in its rural surroundings.
Practical
The privately owned mill sits near Belgium's geographical center and welcomes visitors during special heritage events in Wallonia. Plan your visit around these open days to see inside.
Did you know?
Many wooden components date from the 17th century, long before the mill was built. These old materials were carefully seasoned and reused in the 19th-century structure.
