In 1902, Peter Boost commissioned the construction of a steam-fired tile factory in Beegden. In the following years, this energetic entrepreneur expanded the steam-fired tile factory and added a steam-fired roof tile factory and a steam-fired sawmill.

The Sint Lindertmolen (Sint Lindert Mill) was built between Heel and Panheel as an open standard mill with the permission of Countess Douairière de Horion in 1790. It was relocated to the edge of the Beegderheide in 1856. In 1928, the mill's four open legs were covered with round walls and covered with asphalt paper roofs. In 1965, miller Niessen installed an electric hammer mill in his barn, and in 1969, a major renovation took place, making it possible to grind in the mill again. In 1991, the last miller, Sjeng Niessen, died. In 1997, it became apparent that the mill's standard had been severely affected by the colorful rodent bait. The municipality of Heel purchased the mill, and a comprehensive renovation followed. The mill was dismantled, and the enormous frame was renewed. The pot rods and wooden tail were replaced with welded steel. As many original parts as possible were treated and cleaned. The mill reopened in 2000. Two years later, a new mill barn was built and converted into a reception and information room. The mill then received its name: Sint Lindertmolen. Sint Lindert, or Leonardus, was a hermit in the sixth century. He is a folk saint who cured all kinds of illnesses and pests, such as infertility, rheumatism, and livestock diseases in horses and cattle. He was venerated in Beegden until the 1950s.

The tank gap has nothing to do with the war. This used to be a military training area, and two tanks were used as targets here.
