't Klooster, Rural hamlet in Aalten, Netherlands
't Klooster is a small rural hamlet in the municipality of Aalten, located in Gelderland province. Around 40 residential houses are scattered throughout this quiet countryside setting.
In the 15th century, the Nazareth monastery, known as Schaer, occupied this area and practiced Devotio Moderna, a form of spiritual devotion. The settlement's name today reflects this monastic past.
The settlement takes its name from the monastery that once stood here. A bronze sculpture by Jan te Kulve honors the monks who inhabited this place centuries ago.
This is a rural area best explored by car, as public transportation is limited in this countryside location. Visitors will find open fields and farmland surrounding the scattered homes.
The settlement only received its official name in 1975, even though monastic activity here dates back centuries earlier. This relatively recent naming ties together an ancient past with modern administration.
