Beautiful castle on the side of the road. Nearby there is still a watermill and a monument to those killed in the wars.

We passed Gartrop Castle more or less by chance. You should put in the swing.

Entrance to the castle with an exhibition

The Green Knight from the legend of Vondern Castle. Since the tragic death of his wife, Wessel von Lohe lived with his four-year-old daughter Jolant, isolated from the world. One day, Johann von Galen demanded entry on the basis of a sworn oath of loyalty to arms. The drawbridge had to be dropped. At the cozy fireplace, Wessel let his old comrade-in-arms see into his tormented heart. He told how his wife Gostelyn ran over the Waghals Bridge under the spell of a devilish spell and was pulled out of the Emscher as a corpse three days later. Now he was afraid for his little daughter Jolant. Johann von Galen, who knew that only brides were immune to the spell, suggested to his friend that little Jolante be engaged to his two sons. When she was 15, she could then choose. Wessel agreed. The engagement was concluded and blessed by the aged priest of Osterfeld. ....

<< The Vondern Castle in Oberhausen >> "... It lies a little unfortunate between the marshalling yard and the motorway, but on the outskirts of Oberhausen there is a beautiful castle complex that is hardly expected here by outsiders. The Vondern House is mentioned for the first time in the 15th century The exact date of construction is unknown. The castle became the property of the city of Oberhausen in 1946. The support group for the preservation of the castle has existed since 1982, which was in a poor state of construction at the time and threatened to be destroyed by an expansion of the A31. The building was handed over to his sponsorship in 1984, after which it was renovated and modernized. Today Vondern Castle presents itself as a proud, small moated castle with a partially dried-out moat that is worth a detour. The outer bailey with its characteristic and mighty corner towers is entered through a gate. Behind it is the courtyard with the adjoining coach house, which was opened in 2006 as a modernized event building. On the east side, there is the manor house, which was once separated from the castle courtyard by a moat and connected to it by a bridge. The main hall and vaulted cellar can be rented, the wedding room is available for civil weddings. A small green area with a playground extends around the castle. ...

"... At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was designed as a residence for the nobility. This also included the Imperial Garden. After 1858 it was no longer inhabited. The city of Oberhausen has owned the property since 1911. It was not until 1947 that the Municipal Gallery opened. At that time, works by Impressionist painters were on display. In the 1960s, the palace was renovated and partially renewed. Before the Ludwig Collection moved into the Städtische Galerie, there was initially a glass collection and, at the end of the 1960s, works by Expressionist painters were on display. . .." https://www.ruhr-guide.de/freizeit/burgen-und-schloesser/schloss-oberhausen/14219,0,0.html

Oberhausen Castle goes back to the fortified knight's seat "Oberhaus" (also Overhus, Overhuysen, Averhus), which was probably founded in the late 12th or early 13th century. To this day it is controversial whether the Henricus Dukere de Overhusa mentioned in 1220 was actually its first owner. Wilhelm Joseph Sonnen assumes in his essay that the property was built by one of the bailiffs of Essen and Werden from the house of the Counts von Berg and von der Mark.
