In the nineteenth century, Reverend Breukelaar had arranged that Sunday schools were established in Aalten. For children in the surrounding districts, the Sunday school was held at someone’s home on a farm, so that the children did not have to travel all the way to the village.
Gradually, a need arose within the hamlets to build dedicated rooms or small Sunday school houses (zondagsschoolhuuskes). A total of nine small Sunday schools were eventually built, of which only a few have been preserved.
Lintelo formerly had two Sunday schools. In the heart of Lintelo, on Schooldijk, a small Sunday school stood on land belonging to the Helmink family. It was demolished in 1950. In 1934, the building’s address was Lintelo 150. A residential house was built at this location in 1953, which became Schooldijk 1 in 1967.
Additionally, there was a Sunday school on Sondernweg in Lintelo. That building still stands today and currently serves as a vacation rental.
In the early 20th century, the residents of the Tuunte farm in IJzerlo moved to Oud Rensink. The local neighbourhood then replaced the name Oud Rensink with Tuunterboer. During the most recent land consolidation, the residents of Tuunterboer moved to a new farm in Haart, and the name Tuunterboer moved with them to this new property.

Voluntary Protocols, 13 April 1635
Johan Rensinck and Mechteldt Mächtens, Willem Schuerinck named Rensinck and his wife, and Thonis Rensinck named Luiten and his wife (= Lutte Doorninck), brothers and sisters, settle a dispute regarding the Rensinck fief (leengoed). Johan Rensinck is the ‘feudal holder’ (Besitter nae Leenrecht) of the fief, which consists of two properties; he inherited one property from his deceased daughter Geesken (died < 1625, married to Henrick ten Borninckhave named Kolwagen) from his first marriage to Henrica Rensinck, daughter of the late Lubbert Rensinck. He, his wife, and their heirs shall retain this property. He will transfer the feudal rights of the other property to his brother-in-law and brother Willem Schuerinck named Rensinck and Thonis Rensinck named Luiten, and their wives and heirs.
Johan Rensinck’s property was later called Groot Rensink and, more recently, Scholte Rensink. The ‘other’ property was later called Klein Rensink and, more recently, Oud Rensink or Tuunterboer.

Tobe Rensinck was a farmer on ‘the Rensinck estate‘ and Jan Rensinck was ‘authorised‘.
Voluntary Protocols 11 July 1654
The couple Steffen Adolphsen and Hendersken Brethouwers sell a ¼ share of the Rensinck estate, which they inherited from their mother and stepfather Mechteldt Mächtens (1st marriage to Wessel Brethouwer) and Jan Rensinck, to the couple Jan Locken and Hendersken Nachtegallen.

Aernoudt van Onna, son of Dirck van Onna and Annetie Luijten: 06/04/1735: Testator [Aernoudt van Onna] declares to possess a fourth part of the Rensink estate located in the parish of Aalten, hamlet of Lintelo 15/10/1740: The testator [Aernoudt van Onna] declared to have and possess in ownership a fourth part of the Rensink estate, located in the parish of Aalten, hamlet of Lintelo
In 1745, the Rensink estate is no longer in the will of Aernoudt van Onna (he has apparently sold it).
The aforementioned Aernoudt was a great-grandson of Thonis Rensinck alias Luijten, who is mentioned on 13/04/1635 in the Voluntary Protocols and in 1647 in the Land Tax Register (both mentioned above).
Tobe and Jenneken were members of the church in Aalten < 1645 and lived in Lintelo (Member Register).

Former Sunday school dating from the early 20th century, restored and converted into a vacation rental.
In de negentiende eeuw had dominee Breukelaar er voor gezorgd dat er zondagsscholen kwamen in Aalten. Voor kinderen in de omliggende buurtschappen werd de zondagsschool bij iemand thuis op een boerderij gehouden, zodat de kinderen niet helemaal naar het dorp hoefden te gaan. Allengs ontstond in de buurtschappen de behoefte om hiervoor een lokaal of zondagsschoolhuuske te bouwen. Er verschenen in totaal negen zondagsschooltjes, waarvan er slechts enkele bewaard zijn gebleven.
In de buurtschap Lintelo waren vroeger twee zondagscholen. In de kern van Lintelo was een zondagsschooltje aan de Schooldijk, maar deze is al rond 1950 gesloopt. De zondagsschool ‘Lintelo Veur’ is in 1924 gebouwd. Het schooltje had oorspronkelijk twee lokalen en is behoorlijk ruimer van opzet dan de meeste zondagsscholen in de gemeente Aalten.
Foundation
That the plans in Lintelo were serious was evidenced by the official publication in the Staatscourant (Government Gazette) regarding the establishment of the ‘Zondagschoolvereniging te Vóór Lintelo’ (Sunday School Association for Vóór Lintelo). At a meeting in May 1924, the 17 members present decided that a ‘hall’ should be built to be used as a Sunday school for children from Lintelo.
To build the hall, money and land were required. To raise funds, a collection was held in Lintelo as well as in the surrounding hamlets. Quotes were requested from various contractors. Initially, they considered a building with one large room measuring eight by five metres. Eventually, they decided the building should be larger—albeit more expensive—but, as the reasoning went, cheaper per square metre.
Het gebouw zou twee lokalen krijgen en een aparte berging. Men hield een tweede collecte om extra geld op te halen. Ook vond men de benodigde grond. Voor een symbolisch bedrag werd een stukje land overgenomen van de voormalige boerderij Schenk, op de hoek van de Veldweg en Sondernweg.
From 1925 onwards, the children came to ‘Lintelo Veur’ every Sunday. Each year at Easter, there was a larger children’s party. This continued until the war. During the war, the occupying forces confiscated the Sunday school for use as storage. The Sunday school was forced to be held on a farm again. Immediately after the war, the Sunday school was designated as emergency housing.
It took until the end of 1950 for the association to regain the building following a lawsuit. The building was refurbished and was ready just before Christmas. It was returned to use with a festive Christmas celebration. With this Christmas party, a new tradition was born that continued until the mid-90s: every child received a book annually during the Christmas party. A small notebook was kept to meticulously record which child had received which book and when.
Gradually, the number of children attending Sunday school declined. Over seventy years after the founding of the ‘Zondagschoolvereniging te Vóór Lintelo’, the decision was made to dissolve it at the end of 1995. The property was sold.
Listed
Five years later, in 2000, the Sunday school was placed on the municipal monument list because “it is a good example of a traditional school from the early 20th century. With its prominent location, it is of particular importance for the original character of the area. It is important for keeping the development of education in the municipality of Aalten in the twentieth century visible.”
The small building was subsequently used regularly for parties and as a rehearsal space for a band. However, the condition of the building gradually deteriorated.
Vacation rental
In 2008, the current owners began making plans. After consultation with the municipality, it turned out that a vacation rental was the most achievable scenario. However, the building was not insulated, and there was no upper floor. A thorough and sustainable approach was required. Work began in early 2012. Gradually, unexpected old elements reappeared, such as old doors with their characteristic green colour, the frames around the doors and windows, and the dark oak ceiling.
Today, the little school looks beautiful again and is available for overnight stays.
