Overview
Just outside Aalten, at Bijnenweg 2 and 4 in the Bredevoortse Broek, stands a farmhouse called ‘Kleinpenning’. It was probably built at the behest of the Aalten physician and landowner Dr. Jacobus Johannes Kleinpenning (1794-1870).
The farmhouse dates from the mid-nineteenth century and consists of two adjoining farmhouses (an unusual arrangement at the time), two wagon sheds and two other outbuildings. It has since been beautifully restored.
Although Jacobus Johannes Kleinpenning (Klijnpennink) was born in Nijmegen and several relatives worked there as lawyers or physicians, he eventually settled in Aalten as a doctor. He is recorded there as a ‘medicinair docter en vroedmeester’ (physician and accoucheur). Like his father, he was repeatedly considered for honours. In 1823, this was in recognition of his having vaccinated a large number of people without charging a fee.
Besides practising medicine in Aalten, Dr Jacobus Johannes Kleinpenning owned land. His holdings included a plot near Bredevoort, and in 1849 he acquired part of the Bredevoortse Broek near Aalten. He apparently also earned income by selling timber.
