The De Twee Gebroeders mill is a flour mill on the Maasdijk in the North Brabant town of Wijk en Aalburg. It is a round stone mill from 1872. In 1880 a steam engine was placed in an outbuilding to be able to grind when there is no wind. The mill functioned, among other things, as a bark mill for the leather industry.

During the Second World War the mill was damaged by war. The damage was repaired, after which the mill was in operation until approximately 1954. The mill was then sold to the Cooperative Farmers' Union of Aalburg, which used it as a storage space.

The refuge is Old Dutch; The equipment of the mill includes 1 pair of grinding stones. Grain is now milled on a voluntary basis in De Twee Gebroeders. The mill has been owned by the Heusden and Altena Mill Foundation since 1969 and can be viewed by appointment.

The corn mill ‘De Twee Gebroeders’ is still in operation weekly for grinding organic flour. Since 2016, the mill has started a true revival, with the mill (just like in the old days) being completely equipped as a ‘modern wind flour factory’. The ground flour is delivered to the local organic bakery, among other things.

Visits by appointment, and when the mill is running.

Except by appointment, you can visit the mill when it is running. Almost every Tuesday and very regularly during the week. De Twee only serves organic products and is the permanent supplier of the Hardeman organic bakery in Wijk en Aalburg. Interesting for bakers because high-quality raw materials are made from local grain. Interesting for techies because the mill is a wind-driven machine with innovation from the first quarter of the last century. Really something different from the average volunteer mill.
