Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox settlement Aalst [aːɫst] is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Zaltbommel, and lies about 12 km southeast of Gorinchem.
For a short while, Aalst was a separate municipality. In 1818, it became a part of the municipality of Poederoijen.[1] According to the historian Van der Aa, there used to be an old castle here, but only a few remnants were left in the middle of the 19th century.[2]
It was first mentioned in 850 as "Halosta". Baldericus donated some pieces of land to the Benedictine monastery called Laurisheim. The etymology is unclear.[3] Aalst developed into a stretched out esdorp. Part of the Protestant church dates from the 12th century.[4] In 1840, it was home to 481 people.[5]
