Hell, Rural hamlet in Putten, Netherlands
Hell is a rural settlement in Putten with open fields, forests, and streams spread across its territory. The landscape is shaped by traditional farming with a mix of cropland, woodland, and natural areas.
The place was first recorded in the mid-12th century as Hello and served as the seat of a landowner. The estate later changed hands through inheritance and developed as an agricultural region.
The area keeps its medieval landscape character because large-scale reorganization of the land never happened. You can still see old streams and traditional farming patterns that shape how this place looks.
The place is best explored on foot or by bicycle using the network of rural paths through the countryside. The open landscape and walking trails make it easy to navigate and take in the scenery at your own pace.
A local highlight is the historic Groot Hell farmhouse built in 1603 on Groot Hellerweg. The building is protected as a national monument and shows traditional rural construction from that era.
