Overview
It was first mentioned in 1145 as Saterslo. The etymology is unclear.[3] The castle Saterslo was first mentioned in 1361. It was surrounded by swaps and often raided the countryside.[4] After the reformation, a clandestine church was constructed inside the castle.[5] The castle was demolished in 1818,[4] and a church was built in Saasveld.[6] The current Saint Plechelmus Church dates from 1926,[5] and is 46 metres (151 ft) tall.[6] In 1870, the gristmill Soaseler Möl was constructed.[7]
