History
editGarderen is older than the village of Barneveld and was originally the capital of the later city of Barneveld. The church of the Dutch Reformed Church was originally built in the eleventh century. The current tower dates from the fourteenth century. From 1812 to 1818 Garderen was an independent municipality with a separate administrative designation. After this it became part of the municipality of Barneveld.
Serbian monument
editAt the cemetery, there is a Serbian war memorial, in memory of 29 Serb soldiers who were killed by Spanish flu shortly after the First World War. They were part of a large group of Serbian soldiers who were temporarily housed in the 'Lombok' barracks at the nearby Camp Milligen. Their remains were exhumed in 1938 and reinterred in a mausoleum in Jindřichovice. Renovation of the monument began In 2007, and an extension was gradually undertaken.
