Leyssens Mill

A visit to the 18th century Leyssens Mill should not be missing from your list! This important landmark is a corn mill with a very eventful history, and you can take that quite literally. Every year the mill is honored during the Mill Festival.

The wooden Leyssensmolen, surrounded by a green hedge and crowned with a pyramid-shaped roof, is a must-see in Kattenbos. The mill, named for the Leyssen family that operated it from 1860 to 1905, has been a protected monument since 2001. After three relocations, the last in 1964, the mill rests in this idyllic location in the midst of widespread nature. Take a seat on the lawn or at the picnic benches surrounding the mill for a cozy picnic!

Make your visit to the Leyssensmolen a complete experience by taking a walk through the beautiful Cat Forest. There is even a children's-sized walk: the Butterfly Walk.
