Buysemolen - Herzele (B) - Windmills on Waymarking.com

De Buysemolen is genoemd naar de laatste eigenaars van de molen, de familie Buyse. Voor het eerste bewijs van bestaan van de molen moeten we terug naar 1428. De molen was toen eigendom van de Ninoofse abdij. In 1796 kwam hij in handen van de Gentse ‘Odeyn’, nadat Napoleon de kloosters en hun eigendommen verbeurd had verklaard.

Pas in 1817 komt de molen in handen van de familie Buyse. Hij blijft tot 1950 in actie, maar na het overlijden van de laatste molenaar valt hij definitief stil. In 1976 stort de molen in ten gevolge van houtrot. Op initiatief van de gemeente Herzele wordt een restauratiedossier opgestart. In augustus 2009 viert de Herzelenaar tijdens de molenfeesten de officiële opening van de vernieuwde Buysemolen. De houten staakmolen is daardoor één van de drie maalvaardige molens in Herzele.

Google translation:
The Buysemolen is named after the last owners of the mill, the Buyse family. For the first proof of existence of the mill we have to go back to 1428. The mill was then the property of the Ninoofse abbey. In 1796 it came into the hands of the Ghent 'Odeyn', after Napoleon had confiscated the monasteries and their properties.

It was not until 1817 that the mill came into the hands of the Buyse family. It remained in action until 1950, but after the death of the last miller it came to a permanent standstill. In 1976 the mill collapsed due to wood rot. At the initiative of the municipality of Herzele, a restoration file is being launched. In August 2009 the Herzelenaar celebrates the official opening of the renovated Buysemolen during the mill festivities. The wooden stake mill is therefore one of the three mills capable of grinding in Herzele.
