"House Crange is a former moated castle in today's Herne district Crange.
Duke Adolf II of Cleves built the moated castle, which was only accessible through a wooden drawbridge and built around 1440 on an island in the Emscher lowlands, probably on the day of Laurentius (10th August) of 1441 Derick van Eykel, Drost of the Mark Office Bochum, with the house "geheiten ten Krangh". Krang meant river loop.
North of the castle stood the chapel of the house Crange, the Laurentiuskapelle, which was consecrated in 1449. It was canceled in 1873. Her three-winged altar from the Soester School of Painting is now in Ahausen Castle.
After the family von Eickel to Crange inherited the family of Rump 1637 the possession. The building burnt down in 1761 and was renovated in the same year with a neoclassical interior design on the Gothic basement vault. In 1812 the owners moved out and the castle was leased. By succession, the counts of Landsberg-Velen came to the possession. In 1884 he was sold to the Harpen mining company, which sold him in 1905 to the sewer construction company. About the Essener hard coal AG arrived the house 1962 to the industrialist Robert Heitkamp.
The building fell noticeably, and in 1991 the Förderverein Haus Crange e. V. to the rescue of the building. Despite various planning and provisional measures (conservation of monuments in 1984, acquisition of the building by the city of Herne in 1992, idea competition of a restoration / new or annexes), the house expired until the turn of the millennium.
After ten years of renovation work, the remains of the house were made public again in September 2012 as a "well-kept ruin". Around the building, of which only the foundation walls are preserved, leads a newly created trail with information boards that inform about the history of the place.
A few meters from the ruins, the Cranger Kirmes takes place, which goes back to the horse market on Laurentiustag, on which since the 16th century wild horses from the Emscherbruch were sold. "Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haus_Crange

A ground monument. Unfortunately, there is not much left to see of the former Crange House.
