A water mill in the Meuse basin, restored splendidly , is the first Luysmill, on the Abeek in the nature area Stamprooyerbroek between Bocholt and Bree. This protected monument was bought by the VLM within the framework of a country institution project and made capable to grind again. The VMM took in itself the construction of the dam work to the mill . They developed also a fish staircase on the Abeek, where the fish can pass along . Also the associated farm was restored and now does service as a nature guard house. The stables were converted to nature-educational centre at the nature area ‘De Luysen’. The complete site was freshened up and reconstructed
