The Cottemmolen is a watermill on the Molenbeek-Ter Erpenbeek near the Honegem nature reserve in Erpe, a village in the Belgian province of East Flanders.
A mill on the site was built for 966. The Ferraris map from the 1770s shows a water mill here. The date 1796 is stated on the current facade. In the past it was used as a flour and oil mill, but nowadays it is only used as a flour mill. In 1986 the mill was protected as a monument and the area was protected as a village view.

Beautifully situated watermill along the Molenbeek near the Honegem nature reserve in Erpe. On the banks of the stream, the flats of an oil hammer mill that was part of the mill company for several centuries can still be seen.
The watermill has been renovated several times. The current facade bears the date 1796. The mill ran until 1982. In 1986 the mill was protected as a monument. He was duly restored in 1997.
