The watermill near Oele, also known as the Oelermolen, is located in the neighbourhood of Oele near Hengelo. It is situated on a beautiful spot that is often visited by walkers and cyclists.
The watermill is located near the weir that once maintained the canals of the former Oldemeule manor. The first known owners were the Counts of Bentheim, who gave the mill, the 'Ole Mole', as a fief.
