Haus Nehlen is located in Berwicke, a district of the municipality Welver in the district of Soest. It was originally a moated castle.
In the 17th century, the complex was converted into a castle in the style of the Lipperenaissance. Haus Nehlen was first mentioned in documents in 1268. The castle probably served to protect the northern border of the county Rüdenberg. It was initially the ancestral home of the noble family of Nehlen (also Nele, Neylen, Nelen or Neilen). The property came in 1350 in the possession of a branch of the family von Plettenberg.

The builder of the still existing plant was the cathedral provost in Paderborn and Münster Dietrich von Plettenberg (1550-1634). He had them built for his nephew Wolter Heinrich von Plettenberg. The executive architect was the Dortmunder Steinhauer Dietrich Gerlinckhaus.

Since the end of the 17th century, Haus Nehlen was owned by the von Boeselager family. In the 1770s the family relocated their headquarters to Schloss Höllinghofen. Haus Nehlen has since been managed by tenants and administrators. In 1977, ownership passed to a farmer who still manages the land around Haus Nehlen.

Today a family lives in the left half of the house and the sculptor Egbert Broerken lives and works in the Renaissance moated castle.

You can practically go to the small bridge, where you have a good view of Haus Nehlen. It seems to me that after that the private property begins and so I didn't cross the bridge. Good photo opportunity.
