About Otterlo
Otterlo is a village in the Dutch municipality of Ede, province Gelderland. The village and the surrounding area has about 2,500 inhabitants.
On 1 January 1812, Otterlo was separated from Ede as an independent municipality. The villages Deelen and Harskamp and the hamlets Eschoten, Hoog-Baarlo, Mossel, Nieuw-Reemst, Oud-Reemst and Westeneng (near Harskamp) also fell under this municipality. At the Land Registry this area is still known as the cadastral municipality of Otterlo. On the first of January 1818, the municipality was again added to Ede. In 2005, the 1150-year anniversary of the village of Otterlo was celebrated.
The National Park De Hoge Veluwe is close to Otterlo. In Otterlo there is one of the entrances to this park. The Kröller-Müller Museum in the park, named after Helene Kröller-Müller, has the second largest collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh, as well as a renowned collection of sculptures in the Sculpture Park of the Kröller-Müller Museum. in the National Park is also the Museonder. In addition, the Dutch Tile Museum is located in Otterlo. The Red Cross monument on the Harskamperweg recalls the massive evacuations following the failure of the Operation Market Garden in 1944, which happened near by.

Reformed church (Otterlo)
Built in first entry 1215
Restoration (s) 1968 1973
Monumental status National monument Brick building material
The Church of the village of Otterlo in the Dutch province of Gelderland is owned by the Dutch Reformed Municipality of Otterlo (PKN) and is used weekly for church services. In 1215 there was already a church building in Otterlo. In that year there was talk of the Kerspel Otterlo. From 1580, the area in which Otterlo is situated became Protestant as a result of the Reformation and the church received its own minister. Since 1811 there is a local church council.
The building has a Roman base construction. The choir is late gothic and the tower dates from around 1500. Between 1968 and 1973 a radical restoration took place whereby the church was restored in the style of around 1580.
The organ in the church was delivered in 1896 by W. van Rossum. He was organist and carillonneur in Schoonhoven. However, it is unclear who the builder of the instrument is. In 1974 the organ was extended by Bernhard Koch from Apeldoorn.
