Jean Joseph Félix De Bast kreeg op 17 mei 1838 de toestemming van de Bestendige Deputatie van de provincie Brabant om een stenen korenwindmolen te bouwen aan de huidige rue Sainte-Gertrude.

Opeenvolgende eigenaars:
- 1838, opbouw: De Bast Jean Joseph Félix (1805-1881), handelaar te Waterloo
- 05.05.1847, verkoop: Paquot, molenaar te Waterloo (afkomstig uit Ukkel) voor 12.000 frank (molen en woonhuis)(notaris Hallez - moulin en briques)
- 06.11.1858, verkoop: a) Danaux Bénoni en b) Danaux Marie Joseph, landbouwer te Notre-Dame-au-Bois (onderhandse akte - la muraille existant d'un moulin à vent incendiéà

De molen brandde geheel uit op 19 oktober 1854. De overgebleven romp werd pas in 1884 gesloopt. Na de molenbrand werd de molenaarswoning een herberg die nog in 1960 de "Au Moulin Brulé" droeg als uithangbord. Ook de molendreef was er toen nog aanwezig.
