Sunday Schools

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, the need arose in the rural districts to build a hall or a small Sunday school building for this purpose. A total of nine small Sunday schools were established, of which only a few have survived. Below is an overview, as far as we know.
