The origin of the "Witches' House" in Wesel dates back to 1731. At first it served as a bakehouse for one of the larger local farms. Such buildings were built in the 18th century for fire protection reasons on the outskirts (here the "Höllenhoff").

The current form of the building came about through later use for residential purposes. Rededication to a 'häusling' or 'quarryman' house was common during the 19th century population increase.

The witch's house is an expressive witness to local economic and living conditions of the past three centuries. It is listed by the state monument authority as an individual monument worthy of protection.

The name is based on the witch's house-like winding construction. The name of the location "Höllenhof" refers to the numerous holly bushes in the surrounding oak forest. (from Low German "Holler" for Ilex. Engl. "Holly")

The association, founded in 2007, has the preservation, the home care and cultural use for the statutory purpose.

As a branch of the registry office of the joint municipality of Hanstedt, there is the possibility of weddings in stylish historical surroundings.
