Driscartmolen, watermill in Galmaarden, Belgium

Driscartmolen is a watermill located in Galmaarden beside a flowing stream that powers its wooden wheel. The structure features wooden beams and stone foundations with traditional tiled roofing, and you can see the large wooden waterwheel and internal gears through windows that reveal how grain was ground into flour.

The Gemelingenmolen is first mentioned in 1449 and stands on the Mark in Galmaarden. It was a double mill: the grain mill ran until about 1969, the oil mill until 1930. It is a protected monument within a protected village view and was restored in 2003-2004, after which it became turnable again.

The mill carries two names: Gemelingenmolen refers to its location on the Mark, while Driscartmolen recalls the last millers, the Driscart family. It was a double mill, grinding grain until about 1969 and pressing oil until 1930, so visitors see the equipment of two trades in one building.

Visitors can explore the site during daylight hours by following paths along the river or through the village to reach the mill complex. Parking is available nearby, and visitors are asked to respect the site by not touching the machinery or entering restricted areas.

The mill was a double mill: the grain mill kept running until about 1969, while the oil mill stopped in 1930. It was restored in 2003-2004 and is again ready to turn. The name Driscartmolen comes from the last millers; Gemelingenmolen refers to its location on the Mark.
