About twenty windmills once stood on the summit of the Kasselberg. The last mill caught fire on October 30, 1911, a fire visible from far and wide. In 1947, the Ruytoor mill in Arneke was purchased by the local Syndicat d'Initiative and opened to the public on July 14, 1949. The mill has two distinct functions: it serves as a corn mill, producing organic flour. An electrical unit serves as an oil mill, producing both rapeseed oil and linseed oil. Near the mill is an orientation table and a statue of Maréchal Foch.
