Hueth Castle, pronounced Hüth, possibly also known earlier under the name Bruckhuet, is a moated castle about 1.5 kilometers north of the Bienen district of Rees in the Kleve district of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Shortly after it was built in the 14th century by the Knights of Hekeren (also Heckeren), the medieval complex became a fiefdom of Kurköln. At the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century, the former castle came to the von Wylich family, who owned it for more than three centuries. Remodeled into a castle in the 17th century, Hueth was sold to Friedrich Wilhelm von Borcke in the first half of the 18th century due to financial problems. His family redesigned the manor house in the Rococo style. Through marriage and inheritance, Hueth Castle came to the von Wittenhorst-Sonsfeld family in the 19th century, who are still the owners today. Since she uses the buildings, most of which have been destroyed since the Second World War, privately, the facility is not open to the public.
