Our campsite is located in the hamlet of Heimolen, in the south of the municipality of Bergen op Zoom, in North Brabant.
The hamlet of Heimolen was part of the municipality of Woensdrecht before 1997.
The place is named after the standard mill built here in 1649, commissioned by Maria Elisabeth II van den Bergh,
the marquise of Bergen op Zoom. It was a ban mill for the residents of Zuidgeest, Borgvliet and Woensdrecht.
This mill burned down in 1675. However, it was rebuilt and served as a ban mill until 1792.
Then the ban mill system was abolished and the mill gradually fell into disrepair.
Parts of the mill were used to build the round stone mill De Twee Vrienden,
which was built some kilometres north at Nieuw-Borgvliet, in the territory of Bergen op Zoom, in 1890.
