      History

      Kekerdom was located with a small fortification on the border of the Roman Empire near the camps of Nijmegen and Rindern. The Franconian village of Cachritheim or Kekerteim[2] was founded around 800, initially with a chapel on the site of the present church. It belonged to the lordship of Spaldrop[3], which from 1247 was under the control of the count, later the duke, of Gelderland. In 1445, the duke leased it to the duke of Cleves. In 1609 and 1701, respectively, it passed to Brandenburg and the Kingdom of Prussia as an exclave with the neighboring town of Leuth. The Congress of Vienna awarded it to the Netherlands, which was implemented in 1817 in exchange for Schenkenschanz. Initially it belonged to the municipality of Beek, which from 1818 became part of Ubbergen. Through a merger and renaming in 2015 and 2016, the municipality of Berg en Dal was created.

        Kekerdom is located 1.5 km west of Millingen aan de Rijn and has almost 500 inhabitants. A striking building is the corn windmill De Duffelt, built in 1870. The Church of St. Laurentius is outside the dyked area and is often flooded. The Kederdomer Ward is part of the nature reserve De Gelderse Poort in the Duffelt.
