History


The village was first mentioned in 1299 as Galre. It is possibly a name of a stream.[4] Galder started as a hamlet in a valley near a brook.[5]

The Saint Jacob's Chapel was built in 1468. The tower probably dates from 1517. In 1824, it was converted into a school and the tower and ceiling were lowered. In 1882, it was recommissioned as a church.[5]

Galder was home to 301 people in 1840.[6]

The Galderse Heide [nl] is a heath near the village. About 20 hectares (49 acres) are owned by the Ministry of Defence and sometimes used as a shooting range. There is a nature bath and a recreational area on nature area.[6]
