Sounds like coercion and harassment? Not at all: The concept of the free market economy was unknown, there were only a few mills and the radius of movement of people was smaller anyway.
The farmers didn't have a choice, but they didn't have many options either. Thanks to the idea of the ruler's mill, they were not at the mercy of the miller's harassment, because he could not refuse to crush their grain. So the farmers at least had the guarantee that their grain was processed.

Herne Church
Highlight • Religious Site
The 4 windows on either side of the superstructure of the nave still bear witness to the Romanesque church from the 11th or 12th century. In October 1211, the first charter of Hainaut was granted to Herne by the Lord of Edingen in the church...
In the second half of the 13th century, construction continued in the Brabantine Scheldt Gothic style. This was when the choir, the substructure of the nave, the right aisle and the tower were created... The Gothic tower has a hexagonal turret on the four corners.
In 1440, the tower was struck by lightning, after which it was rebuilt by Vanden Bossche, who was staying in the Carthusian monastery at the time...
In 1566 and 1588, it suffered from the violence of iconoclasts and beggars. The beam above the portal is a reminder of the restoration in 1598 by order of the abbot of Saint-Aubertus in Cambrai...
Through extensive renovations (in 1923-24) the church acquired an asymmetrical floor plan...

Pieter Bruegel Landscape Cube – View of Herne
Highlight • Viewpoint
This cube is actually simple, but it gives you a whole new look at the landscape. The cube, three meters long, three meters high and just as deep, is like a frame that gives meaning to the panorama and detaches it from its context by framing it. The cubes symbolize the solidarity between the four residential areas of Herne, Herfelingen, Kokejane and Sint-Pieters-Kapelle.
At the same time, it is a kind of shelter to which you can withdraw, inside and yet outside at the same time. A wonderful combination of paradoxes with the help of art!

The chapel seems neglected at the moment.
