Mill De Vijf Gebroeders is a flour mill from 1851 on the Stationsweg in Heinkenszand. It is a round stone mill with a radius of 21.40 meters.
The mill was built to replace the Noordmolen that burned down two years earlier. The De Vijf Gebroeders mill remained in operation until the early 1960s and then fell into disrepair. Only restorations followed, the most recent of which was in 2005. The mill has been running regularly again since 2007.

This monument was unveiled on September 20, 2014, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the crash. On September 18, 1944, an American B-24 bomber crashed near Heinkenszand. It was returning from dropping supplies for the 82nd Airborne Division, which had landed near Groesbeek the day before as part of Operation Market Garden. Two men died as a result of the crash, six were arrested and transported to POW camps in Germany and Poland, and two were able to hide—with the help of the local resistance group "Groep Griep"—until liberation.
