  Vincent van Gogh lived nearby and made several paintings while in the area, including four paintings of the mill in 1884. The watermill was listed as a national monument in 1972.
context_section_description: The gristmill was first mentioned in a document in the 13th century, donating the mill to the Postel Abbey in Mol, Belgium. It was a banmolen (nl), meaning peasants in the locality were obligated to use this mill to grind their wheat.
