"How enthralled she stands there, the Wasserburg Hopen, surrounded by a moat, old oaks and beeches in the middle of the Hopener Stadtwald.

In recent centuries, one of the most important architectural monuments of the town of Lohne has undergone an eventful and exciting history. It was built in 1517 by Count Herbord von Dinklage. In 1637, soldiers of the Swedes and Hesse, who besieged the Vechta, burnt down the buildings of the outer bailey, and it was not until 1780 that the two-storey massive manor house was expanded and extended. At that time, until the 17th century, the castle also had a tower and a drawbridge, which collapsed or collapsed around 1825 and around 1880. "

The site of the former Hopen estate with 60 hectares of beech, oak and coniferous forest developed as a special local recreation area. Hopen Castle is an attractive starting point for walking and hiking in nature. Protected by a moat, the castle from the end of the 15th century is a historical monument. It came into the possession of the Counts of Galen in 1805 and is now owned by Count Kerssenbrock, a branch of the von Galen family.
