The history of Aduard dates back to the foundation in 1192 of the Cistercian Aduard Abbey,Read more
where famous early Humanists like Rodolphus Agricola and Wessel Gansfort studied and lectured. The centre of the village is dominated by the so-called Abdijkerk (abbey church), one of the last visible remains of the erstwhile prestigious monastery. It is suggested that this building, currently in use by the Protestant congregation, was originally the monastery's infirmary.
Aduard's Abbey Museum (Kloostermuseum) provides further information about the Abbey's history, including archeological findings and a model and 3D animation of the original abbey complex. In the museum backyard, one may also find an oven used to make the original style of brick (kloostermoppen) used for the construction of the Abbey.
Until 1990, Aduard was a separate municipality.
