Galder is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Alphen-Chaam 8 km south of the city of Breda.[3]
The village was first mentioned in 1299 as Galre. It is possibly a name of a stream.[4] Galder started as a hamlet in a valley near a brook.[5]
The Saint Jacob's Chapel was built in 1468. The tower probably dates from 1517. In 1824, it was converted into a school and the tower and ceiling were lowered. In 1882, it was recommissioned as a church.[5]
