On the top of Kasselberg once stood about twenty windmills. The last mill caught fire on October 30, 1911, which could be seen far into the surrounding area. In 1947, the Ruytoor mill in Arneke was purchased by the local Syndicat d'Initiative, to be opened to the public on July 14, 1949. The mill has two different installations: it functions as a gristmill, which produces organic flour. An electric installation functions as an oil mill, for the production of both rapeseed oil and linseed oil. Near the mill, there is an orientation table and a statue of Maréchal Foch.
