Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De Ahof, also known as De Pol, was a manor house and estate on the edge of the village of Aalten. Old records refer to it as \u2018Hof ten Ahave\u2019, later shortened to Ahof. The name derives from the word \u2018aa\u2019 (water), meaning a manor by the water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early history<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

De Ahof was first mentioned in a charter from 1281, when it was subject to the Lordship of Bredevoort. It was later granted in fief to the Count of Lohn, who resided at the castle in Stadtlohn. Little survives of the original estate and manor house, farm and associated watermill<\/a>, and it is therefore not known what the old manor house looked like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present monumental farmhouse \u2018De Pol\u2019 dates from 1743. It is one of Aalten\u2019s oldest buildings and for a long time was also one of its most prominent farms. The name \u2018De Pol\u2019 refers to a raised area in the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moat and watermill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the twentieth century, P. van de Weele of Rotterdam wrote a booklet about the manor house. The earliest resident he was able to trace was the widow Trijne van Ahave, who lived there in 1529. Her husband\u2019s name remained unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Van der Weele wrote that the moat around the building had only recently been filled in. It was connected to the Slingebeek. On the west side of the manor stood a watermill consisting of two buildings on opposite banks of the stream. The mill served both as a corn mill and an oil mill, but fell into disrepair towards the end of the nineteenth century. In 1901 the municipality demolished the mill and its associated buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Van der Weele wrote his booklet, Engelbartha Hendrika Arentzen was the last member of the family that had lived at the house for many years. In the early twentieth century De Pol came into the possession of the Prinsen family, with Hente Prinsen as its last resident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sociale functie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Bekius<\/a> worked to preserve the building in its original state. Over the centuries De Pol fulfilled an important social role. Long ago it was a significant meeting place because the leading farmer of the area lived there. During the French period<\/a> it served as a gathering place for resistance activities, and in 1906 it was the setting for Aalten\u2019s first football match. In 1988 De Ahof was given a new use as a petting farm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
