Museum 'De Tien Malen'

Putten

What is the origin of the term malen? Putten dates back to 855, when it consisted of hamlets and ‘maalschappen’ owning uncultivated land from which members could take sods to fertilize the cultivated land. The most important members of the hamlets met once a year to discuss their common affairs. The museum tells the history of Putten based on archaeological finds.
