The Arenberg mill bears testimony of the past and has today become a major cultural centre. It is part of the gems of the Walloon Brabant heritage. At the heart of the village, this ancient mill stands at the border of the Senne and has conserved the impressive machinery which brings the paddle wheel in action. The tourist office has recently been fitted out on the ground flour, (since 2004). The Mill houses the permanent porphyry - stone extracted from the Quarry of Quenast - museum on the first floor and on the 3 spacious floors, there is an entire exhibition programme during the tourist season.
