On the outskirts of Rucphen stands the Heimolen, a characteristic round stone tower mill from the 19th century. This mill has been a feature of the village skyline since 1844. Once upon a time, its sails turned day in, day out, grinding grain for the local farmers. In this way, the mill played an important role in the daily life of the village.
After a period of decay, the mill was restored and made operational again. Today, the Heimolen is a national monument and a tangible reminder of the past. Regularly, the volunteer millers set the sails in motion, and you can take a look inside. You'll learn more about the old craft and experience how important the mill used to be. Thus, the Heimolen is not only a beautiful sight in the landscape but also a living piece of history that is well worth visiting.
