In connection with the establishment of the Klever Landwehr, Duke Adolf von Kleve had a water-defended house built against Kurköln at the point where the road between Xanten and Kleve crossed the Landwehr. This was first mentioned in a document in 1419 in the Klevian fiefdom register as "onse huys alsoe as dat tymmert steet tussen den tween slachboemen". Its name results from its location at two barriers, because the "Hof ten Balke" can be translated as "Hof an den Zollbalken".

The manor house is particularly suitable as a destination. It is particularly popular with families, nature lovers and history fans.
The manor house reveals historical aspects from times long past and offers a small insight into history.
Especially as a photo motif, Haus Balken is very popular with both tourists and locals.
