History
It was first mentioned in the 10th or 11th century as Vualli, and means well.[3] Well developed on an artificial mound and was originally a linear settlement along the road. Later it became more concentrated. The tower of the Dutch Reformed Church dates from the 12th century. The church itself dates from the 16th century. Castle Well probably dates from the 14th century. The tower was remodelled in the 16th century.[4] In 1672, it was heavily damaged by the French. In 1884, the castle was extended.[5] In 1840, Well was home to 843 people.[5]
