History
It is an old village; the first known mention dates from 855, as Andassale, and means "hall of Ando (person)".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/andelst |title=Andelst - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=24 March 2022 |language=nl}} The village developed on a high ridge and has been inhabited since the Roman period. The church has a tower from around 1400 and has been extensively restored between 1928 and 1930.{{cite web|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0016.php |title=Andelst |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=24 March 2022}} In 1327, the Duke of Gelre established a legal court in Andelst.
