Historic Windmills

The region around Damme features a collection of historic windmills that reflect the agricultural heritage of West Flanders. These structures include 19th-century stone mountain mills and belt mills situated along the Damse Vaart canal and within the polder villages of Hoeke, Lapscheure, and Moerkerke. While some remain fully restored, others stand as architectural remnants of traditional Flemish engineering used for grinding grain.
