History
Zieuwent was first mentioned in 1294 or 1295 as "silva Synwede", and means "dike which runs sideways".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/zieuwent |title=Zieuwent - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}} The village started to develop in the 18th century as a peat colony, and formed into a linear settlement.{{cite web|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0235.php |title=Zieuwent |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |page=351 |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=23 March 2022}} In 1840, it was home to 1,824 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/zieuwent |title=Zieuwent |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}}
In 1795, a small church was built in Zieuwent. In 1894, Sanderink became parson of Zieuwent. In 1895, after a pilgrimage to Kevelaer, he was of the opinion that the village needed a worthy church. Construction started on 30 June 1898, and on 10 October 1899, the {{ill|Saint Werenfridus Church|nl|Sint-Werenfriduskerk (Zieuwent)}} was inaugurated.{{cite web|url=https://mijngelderland.nl/inhoud/verhalen/de-st-werenfriduskerk-in-zieuwent |title=De St. Werenfriduskerk in Zieuwent |website=Mijn Gelderland |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}} The tower is {{convert|75|m}} tall, making it the tallest of the Achterhoek region.{{cite web|url=https://www.zieuwentsbelang.nl/landschap-recreatie-zieuwent/dorpskern-zieuwent/ |title=De Sint-Werenfriduskerk |website=Zieuwents Belang |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}}
In 1830, the Rosmolen Zieuwent was constructed. It was a horse powered oil mill constructed on an old farm. In 1932, it was bought by the Netherlands Open Air Museum and moved to Arnhem. It was displayed but never used. In the early 21st century, an electric engine of 1 hp was installed to simulate the horse.{{cite web|url=https://www.molendatabase.nl/nederland/molen.php?nummer=1221 |title=Rosmolen Zieuwent |website=Molen database |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}}
