Eerde is a hamlet in the province of Overijssel in the Netherlands. It is part of the municipality of Ommen, and lies about 21 km (13 mi) northwest of Almelo.[3]
At the heart of the Eerde hamlet lies Eerde castle, a castle in the Dutch-classical style from 1715, surrounded by a 1,667 hectares (4,120 acres)
The first castle on this site was built in the 14th century, but was soon destroyed by the forces of the Archbishop of Utrecht in 1380. The Van Twickelo, Van Renesse, and Van Pallandt families have lived in castles on this site since.
In the early 1920s,
In 1934, the castle was turned into a school for Jewish children threatened by the Nazi regime. This school, founded by the Quakers, had to be closed under pressure from the German occupiers in 1943. This boarding school was known as The International Quaker School Eerde.[6]
After World War II in the castle a new boarding school was founded which is now known as International School Eerde,[7] and it now offers IGCSEs and IB programmes to its students. Since the mid-fifties this school has no longer been run by the Quakers.
