't Schot

The hamlet 't Schot originated in the 15th century, at the foundation of the Ter Apel Monastery. It was the place where the monks let their cattle graze (the name schot refers to barn or stable).

Take a closer look

The six former monastery farms became city farms and have been regularly remodelled and adapted over time. Some other farms (Poortweg 3 and 6 and Kruisherenweg 1) come from the second half of the 19th century. The front house of farm 't Schot (the 6 th cloister reservation) was built around 1800. The attached barn dates from the 1930s. At one time, the monastery's cattle herd was managed here, hence this farm is also called the Ossenschot.
