De Vlijt Windmill (Wapenveld)
Highlight • Monument
The facade stone reads:
"THE FIRE OF EIGHTY MADE ME PERISH. BUT
GENEROUS GIFTS REVIVED ME”
THE FIRST STONE LAID
A. D. MAY 12, 1984
BY MILLER W. J. VRIEZE
The mill has a pair of 16th (140 cm diameter) artificial stones and an electrically powered pair with 90 cm stones.
The mill is used on a professional basis for grinding grain. The owner of the mill is now the Stichting Molenbezit Gemeente Heerde.
The landscape value of the mill is high but is somewhat limited by fairly tall vegetation in the nearby area.
In the autumn of 2007, owner Willem Vrieze donated the miller's house to the Molenbezit Heerde foundation. In 2008, the De Vlijt mill committee is committed to preserving the miller's house. According to their own words, this is as a tribute to the Vrieze family, who owned the miller's house for 120 years. In 2012, the miller's house was renovated and a new hay barn was built with a miller's room.
The associated miller's house, barn and haystack are municipal monuments.[1]
The flight is 23.50 meters in size and is rigged in the Old Dutch style. The steel rods were made in 1984 by the Buurma company. The inner rod has number 136 and the outer rod 135.
The 6.10 m long, cast iron top axle was cast in 1983 by the Nijmeegse IJzergieterij and has the number 3.
The slewing gear is a nut slewing gear, which is operated with a slewing wheel. The slewing cable runs over a pulley to make slewing easier.
The brake is a Flemish brake, which is operated with a whip stick.
The lifting gear is a drag lifting gear.
Next to the door hangs a facade sign with the symbols: dove of peace, bobbing ship, folded hands, three rings, silhouette of burning De Vlijt, six-pointed star and diamond.

Villa Nova (Town Hall of Heerde)
Highlight • Monument
Firstly, the villa had to be put into use before January 1, 1929 as the town hall of Heerde and it had to keep this function at least until January 1, 1952. Second, “the beauty of the gifted nature should not be affected”. This gift was welcome for the municipality of Heerde.
The growing task of the municipal government had created a need for a larger town hall. To convert the villa into a town hall, the architect W.A. Lensvelt appointed. On December 21, 1928, the town hall was officially declared by Mayor J.G. Schorer opened. A garden wall was placed against the right side of the town hall in 1948 as part of the monument to the victims of the Second World War from the municipality of Heerde. See the following description in this booklet for this.
Since 2014, the town hall has been the representative part of the town hall. The council chamber is still in use for council meetings. The wedding hall is used for weddings and ceremonies. The rooms of the mayor and aldermen are also located in the historic part of the town hall. Villa Nova is a municipal monument since 2014.

N.V. Ark's Rusk Factory
Highlight • Monument
The factory complex contains the following parts that fall under national protection:
- MAIN BUILDING (monument number 520190) (consisting of office and reception space)
- adjacent FACTORY HALL WITH SHED ROOFS (monument number 520195)
- BUSINESS BUILDING (monument number 520191) (originally gas factory, nowadays raw materials storage and silo)
- BUSINESS BUILDING (monument number 520192) (storage Technical Service)
- Detached PORTER HOUSE (monument number 520193)
The factory complex, with its elongated facade on the Zwolseweg, which forms the connection with the northern village of Wapenveld, as an exit road, to the north of the village center of Heerde. The buildings on the site are characterized by a remarkable, continuous, low-rise building, in which the two striking towers covered by a saddleback roof are the only vertical elements that attract attention above the flat-covered façade, which at first sight appears to be arranged completely symmetrically. Together with the porter's house (G), there is an impressive complex of factory (side) buildings.
