Hondzocht Windmill, Historic windmill in Tubize, Belgium

The Moulin d'Hondzocht is a historic windmill in Tubize, Belgium, near the village of Saintes, listed as a protected heritage property in Wallonia. It has the typical shape of mills from the 1770s, with a solid stone base, a wooden body, and large sails designed to catch the wind and drive the grinding mechanism inside.
