About the artwork

Sint-Gertrudis-Pede watermill.

Lostraat 84, 1703 Schepdaal
Already in 1392 the watermill of Saint-Gertrudis-Pede was mentioned in an act: "Sweder of Abcoude, Lord of Gaasbeek, bought from Arnoul, son of Gielelmus of Pede, a hill with dwellings on top and with a watermill at the foot".
According to some sources, Pieter Bruegel the Elder depicted the watermill more than 400 years ago, e.g. in the paintings "The return of the herd" and "The magpie on the gallows". In 1800 there were about 3.000 watermills and as many windmills working in our country. There was one mill for every 500 to 1,000 inhabitants. Later, the steam engine became the main source of energy. In 1935, after electrification, wind and water mills were almost finished for the mill.
In 1989, the Watermolen van Pede was purchased by the municipality of Dilbeek. After a very thorough restoration, the mill has been milling again since 2002, making it one of the few milling mills in the Pajottenland! Also unique is the dog wheel where the dog churned butter by turning the dog mill. Groups can visit the watermill on request. There is a maximum of 25 persons per group. A visit to the mill includes a grinding demonstration with technical explanations from the miller and a guided tour of the whole building.
