The Five Brothers

Description

De Vijf Gebroeders is a flour mill in Heinkenszand in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a round, brick windmill built in 1851. The flight of the mill is 21.25 / 21.40 meters.

The mill was built to replace an earlier mill at another location in the village, which burned down after being struck by lightning two years earlier. The mill remained in operation until the early 60s of the 20th century and then fell into disrepair. From 1968 to 1970 the mill was restored in full swing. After this, decay set in again, until in 2005 the new owner had the mill straightened and the masonry repaired. During the restoration, the upper shaft broke in two, after which a new one had to be cast. The restoration was completed in 2007. Since then, the mill has been running regularly. The old upper shaft is next to the mill.
