ヴァーダースローの洞窟・トップ20

The imposing moated castle is still inhabited by the Bentheim-Tecklenburg royal family today. It combines several architectural styles: a chapel tower from the 13th century, a Renaissance wing with a gallery and a Baroque wing. The important "White Hall" in the Rococo style, the wallpaper room and the small castle chapel with a prisoner's graffiti are among the sights worth seeing. Guided tours are offered regularly.

Very nice to drive

The actual destination today was the Hofcafe Reinkenhoff. After strengthening ourselves with the ingenious, homemade cake, we headed home. Since, as always, the Lippetaler Fahrradthon took place on the 2nd Sunday in August, we were able to see Haus Assen up close. It is otherwise only accessible on special occasions (see www.haus-assen.de).

Beautiful estate very beautiful tree avenues on the site

The "Borch to Assen", which already existed in the 11th century, belonged to the Amtshof Honsel an der Lippe, which Emperor Heinrich II gave to the Abdinghof monastery in Paderborn in 1023. In 1384 Röttger received the castle as a fief from Ketteler. The property was divided in 1455. In 1564, Laurenz von Brachum built the Neu-Assen house south of the castle on behalf of Goswin von Ketteler; his brother lived in the old castle.

Super quality honey

Gut Assen is privately owned and cannot be entered. But only the archway with the drawbridge can be seen. From the estate, a path leads around the associated facilities, because passage is also prohibited.

Very nicely restored, but privately owned and not accessible.
