History

Rolde was a separate municipality until 1998, when it became a part of the newly-established municipality of Aa en Hunze.[3]

Although facilities are limited, Rolde possesses a ten-pin bowling alley. There are also two hunebeds on a site east of the church. The windmill has been restored to working order.
