Tips
The main house of the Betge farm was built in 1743 as a half-timbered building and expanded with stone extensions in the early 20th century. The courtyard was mentioned as early as the 12th century and was then subject to the Corvey Abbey.
The inscription on the gate bolt reads: IOHAN BERNT HINNER ZU STACHHAUSEN UND GRET. READING. BEKEN / HAVE THE HOUSE BUILT. WHO TRUSTED GOD WOL / BUILT IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH. WHO WILL LOSE ITSELF ON IESUM CHRIST / THE SOL OF HEAVEN. THEREFORE YOU ALL HOPE I GAR / STIFF AND FIX THU / ANNO 1743 AUGUST 7thtranslated by
