Overview
Farm ‘t Loohuis is mentioned as early as 1410, when it was called ‘erve Lohues’. Aalten’s baptismal registers from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries contain many instances of the names (Te) Lohuis, Loohuis and Lohuijs, as well as ‘Lohuijs op Snoeijenbos’. The surnames ’t Loo, Aan ’t Loo and Te Loo (still in use today) also occur.
The earliest records include the baptism of Berent, son of Berent and Hilleken Lohuijs, in 1692, and of Janna, daughter of Freerick and Stijne Loohuys, in 1695.
Loohuisbos
Next to the attractive farmhouse ‘t Loohuis, on the edge of a gently rounded ridge of arable land, lies Loohuisbos, the woodland of the same name. The wood once belonged to the farm and supplied coppiced wood and peat. A pool left by peat digging, known locally as ’t Vennetje, was also used for ice skating in the twentieth century.
In 1928, the association Aaltens Belang saved the 21-hectare ’t Loohuis estate from being reclaimed by purchasing it. Unable to raise the necessary funds, the association later sold it to the Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten (Society for the Preservation of Nature Reserves). As a result, this part of the old Achterhoek landscape was preserved. In 1940, Burgemeester Monnik even called ’t Loohuis the municipality’s main attraction: a succession of heathland, small pools and farmland.

Tonis and Hermken probably moved to ’t Loohuis around 1670. By then they already had a daughter, Christijna, who married Geert te Boske in Aalten on 18 January 1683. The original marriage register identifies her as Christijna Weijenborg, daughter of Tonnis te Loohuijs, and Geert as the son of Hendrick in Dale; this marriage is absent from Stroet’s transcription. Their son Herman, later known as Smees, was living in Vragender when he married. Their son Berent probably lived at ’t Loohuis only briefly after his marriage, as all his children were baptised in Bredevoort from 1696 onwards.
