The Geographical Dictionary records how the Rossum corn mill met its end: "On February 21, 1799, the ice on the Waal River near Rossum, which had been stuck there for several days, began to move and toppled the corn mill, which stood on the dike; the ice at that point grew to a height of 40 feet, but without causing any further damage." The ice, of course, came down the Waal River, accumulated in the bend, and formed an ice dam that destroyed the corn mill. This corn mill ground the grain of the farmers from Rossum (and the surrounding area). It is clear that this refers to the mill on the dike near the current De Gouden Molen establishment.

The former Reformed Church is a hall church built in 1719, partly with material from its predecessor, and is located on a hill. It has furniture from the 18th century, such as a pulpit, lecterns and a chandelier. It once housed a clock museum. Until 2021, it housed the Dutch roof tile museum. Since 2024, it has been used as an event location.

The St. Hubertus Church from 1873 was designed by Arnoldus van Veggel and is a good example of early neo-Gothic. Before that, Catholics attended church in a barn church, which was regularly flooded. During the Second World War, the church was damaged, but the Allies caught the Germans, who wanted to blow up the tower, in time, so that the tower was preserved. The organ dates from 1880 and was built by the Gradussen brothers.

In Petto, nice cafe as a break recommendation

It is a beautiful open space now, but this is where the brick factory stood

We regularly walk through Alem and first there was a beautiful cart wheel and insect hotel to admire near the De Maas marina. Then beautiful boxes appeared in the trees along the Steeg (woman, man and child). And as if things couldn't be more beautiful, a beautiful insect hotel was built on the clog path and not so much later a beautiful wooden work of art depicting father, mother and children with 'the living room' in their vicinity. According to a resident of Alem, all this was made by residents of Alem... no work of art can compete with this!!

In the 1860s, the poor German Wouter Schiffer came to the Netherlands in search of work. He ended up in Engelen in Brabant, married the eldest daughter of the schoolmaster there and quickly managed to climb the social ladder. For example, in 1774 and 1780 he was named as representative of the Lord of Empel in the leasing and sale of land. In 1777 and 1781 Wouter Schiffer was even listed as mayor of the manor of Empel and Meerwijk. In 1792 he bought “a considerable house” on the Maasdijk in Alem for 2020 guilders. It would have been the largest house in Alem at that time, with a number of large rooms and one floor and a large piece of land. Source and more information: www dodeakkers.nl
