In the 15th century there were nine water mills in operation on the Winge. Today there are still four watermills left: this Uithemmolen on the territory of Wezemaal (Rotselaar) is one of them. The building has been heavily restored and has been given a modern hatch, but you cannot ignore the fact that it is a water mill. It is one of the few where the wheel is still present.

This watermill is located in Vlasselaar, a hamlet of Wezemaal. The oldest known mention dates from 1775. The house dates from 1846, as is also visible in the year stone. The area consists of the molinotope of the mill, a stretch of the Winge upstream and downstream and the surrounding meadows. The mill part, including the lock, dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and has features that very well illustrate the way in which water mills were built in the wider area of Diest under the ancien régime.

Watermill on the Winge, dating from before 1775 (oldest known mention). The year stone anno 1846 refers to the establishment of the residential house.
The surroundings consist of the mill pond of the mill, a section of the Winge upstream and downstream and the surrounding meadows. The stream was straightened in the 1970s, significantly increasing its flow rate. Upstream, the surroundings consist mainly of meadow, downstream is the mill race with surrounding arable land.
