== History == Zeddam was first mentioned between 1139 and 1148 as Sydehem. The etymology is unclear.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/zeddam |title=Zeddam - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=23 March 2022 |language=nl}}</ref> Zeddam is located on the flank of the Paasberg along the road from 's-Heerenberg to Doetinchem. It used to belong to the Lord of Bergh. The St. Oswaldus Church has a tower from around 1500 with a 14th-century base. The church dates from 1891. Castle Montferland was a castle from the 9th century. The castle Uplade which was destroyed in 1066 may reference the same castle. It was demolished in 1527.
