Appeltern

It was first mentioned in 1139 as de Apeltre, and means "settlement near apple trees". The village developed along the Maas. The tower of Dutch Reformed Church is from the 12th century. The choir dates around 1400. In 1859, the church and tower were modified into a single building. Huis Appeltern was a manor house built in the late-17th century. It was demolished in 1881 and only the northern wing remains. Steam pumping station De Tuut was constructed between 1918 and 1919 as one of the last steam powered pumping station. It was decommissioned in 1969 when it was replaced by the Diesel powered Bloemers pumping station. == Gallery ==
