It was not until 1985 that the mill was given the name Ter Leede, named after the water board that was established in 1915. With this, the original name Voormolen or Voorste Molen will probably be forgotten forever. In 2006 a torn midsummer was replaced. The front of the upper house and various beams were also restored. After which in 2007 the mill was festively put back into use.

Get on your bike, put on your walking shoes and visit KunstFort Asperen, a monumental place where art and culture are displayed in a beautiful landscape of the New Dutch Waterline. The fort was built between 1845 and 1847 and it served as protection against enemy attacks. Around the fort you will find a moat to make the fort more difficult for opponents to pass.

The New Dutch Water Line had to protect Holland against external attacks. The line had some vulnerabilities. One of those weak links was the Elst-Dordrecht railway line. In order to defend this point, a small fort was built in Acquoy near the Devendijk. Very special is the still working crane bridge.

You can see from these ramparts that Asperen was originally a fortified town. For a long time Asperen was a manor in the possession of the Lords of Arkel. However, between 1401 and 1412 they came into conflict with their feudal lord, the count of Holland, as a result of which the Arkel areas came into the hands of Holland. It was not until 1989 that Asperen became part of Gelderland due to pushbacks.
