    A place with a moving history, just study the information board. There are also benches for a short rest.

      In 1316, the nobleman Otto von Ahaus received permission from Bishop Ludwig II of Münster to build a castle in the swampy Garbrock area. The financial means were available to him because he had inherited the Lordship of Lohn that same year – including the castle in Stadtlohn and the Lordship of Bredevoort with its castle.

      Otto owed this inheritance to his marriage to the sister of a deceased Lord von Lohn. Since his sons had predeceased him, the entire inheritance went to Otto. Shortly thereafter, the Lordship of Lohn, along with its possessions, was sold to the Prince-Bishop of Münster, Ludwig II, who was also Landgrave of Hesse.
