The current structure of the Heimolen is almost completely original. The fact that the mill was never thoroughly renovated is evident from inscriptions in the mill, but also from various historical writings. Moreover, the mill itself betrays its origins: it is one of the very few windmills with a straight chapel roof - after 1700, curved chapel roofs were in vogue everywhere.

Hiking
De Heimolen is open all year round, every 2nd and 4th Sunday from 10am to 1pm.
Grinding is therefore carried out when there is wind.
During the summer months from May to October, the mill is also open on these Sundays in the afternoon from 1 pm to 5 pm.
The mill is then open, but not in operation.
