The Gerardamolen is a windmill in the Limburg village of Heijen, in the Dutch municipality of Gennep. The mill is a flour mill, of the belt mill type. The mill replaced an earlier mill in the same place in 1950.

The current mill was built around 1850 as a polder mill and in that function he served in Engwirden in Frisia until 1913. After that, the mill was moved to Hierden, Gelderland, where it stood as the superstructure of a bell grist mill until 1949.

The former mill in Heijen was a stone example that was built from 1861 to 1863. In 1925, this mill ran wild during a heavy storm and then burned down. After that, the mill was rebuilt, but in 1944, during the Second World War, the mill was blown up by German troops.

After rebuilding, milling was carried out on the mill until 1966 by miller Kessels. The mill is therefore named after his wife. The mill was subsequently sold to the municipality of Gennep, which had a major restoration carried out in 1976. The municipality of Gennep has transferred the mill on a long lease to the mill foundation of Gennep.

The Gerarda Mill can be visited on Saturday afternoon from 1 pm to 4 pm.
