Hegebeintum is home to the highest artificial dwelling hill, or terp, in the Netherlands, measuring around 8.8 metres (29 ft) tall.[4] The high ground of the terp was historically used as a place of refuge during unusually high tides and storm floods, and also had a number of dwellings. There is a well-known restored windmill located south of the village: the Hegebeintumer Mûne.
