The Pollismolen is located on the Itterbeek in a beautiful nature reserve. The mill was first mentioned in 1296, when it was still called the “Weyerberch mill”. In the 16th century the name changed to the “Schelenmolen” and in 1633 to “the mill at Pölles”. Hence the current name “Pollismolen”. It is an undershot watermill on the Wijshagerbeek in Opitter. In 1830 the mill was still made of wood and clay. Later a stone mill was built. The mill was shut down in 1961 and in 1970 the mill wheel was set on fire by children. In 1981 the mill was purchased by the municipality of Bree and converted into a holiday resort. An extensive restoration followed, during which the mill was brought back into working condition. In 1994, the mill and its surroundings obtained protected status. In 2010, a restaurant with banquet rooms and a hotel was built in one of the nearby buildings. The mill grinds buckwheat for the restaurant and there is an old baking oven in the café. In addition to the mill museum, a forest and pipe museum has been set up. There is a bio garden and a forest learning trail in the nearby area.
