The name Slangenburg has nothing to do with snakes, but with the Slingebeek stream that meanders through the landscape here. It was once called the "Slingeburcht," but over time, this was corrupted to Slangenburg. Thus, the estate bears the name of the stream that has been winding its way through here for centuries.

Castle Slangenburg was first mentioned in 1354 as the property of Maes (Thomas) van Baer. In 1585 it was destroyed by the troops of the States General and could only be rebuilt during the Twelve Years' Truce, and in the 17th century the castle became the property of General Frederik Johan van Baer (1645-1713), who rebuilt it for residential purposes. In the 18th century it came into the possession of the Steengracht family, and in 1781 it passed to the Van der Goltz family, who managed it until 1863, before the Van der Goltz heirs sold it in 1895. The last private owners, since 1895 the Passmann family (Herrmann Paßmann), were a German entrepreneur family. The members of this family are buried in the private cemetery behind the car park. After the war, all German property was confiscated and the castle and the buildings within the outer moat became the property of the Dutch state.

The Anholt moated castle in Isselburg is one of the most impressive castle complexes in Westphalia and has been the family property of the Princely House of Salm and Salm-Salm since 1641 and is privately inhabited. The moated castle is surrounded by a 35 hectare, beautiful castle park. Directly adjacent to the historic landscape park is a golf course and Anholter Schweiz, which is well worth seeing. You shouldn't miss a short trip across the border to the beautiful Achterhoek.

The country estate is located near the German border and has a history that dates back to the fifteenth century. Today's country estate (house and park) was created at the beginning of the 19th century.

The Aspel house is located about 3,000 meters northeast of Rees-Haldern and is considered an example of castle and palace history spanning more than a thousand years. A stone castle was built in the 12th century from an earth mound castle (motte type) built around 950. This castle became a moated castle almost 500 years later under Prussian influence in the 17th century. Visible today is a baroque, two-wing palace complex on the site of the former outer bailey. The builder of the first stone castle was Count Palatine Richzio. Other owners: Archbishops of Cologne, the von Wittenhorst - Sonsfeld family (after 1686) and the congregation of the "Daughters of the Holy Cross" (since 1850). In 1850, the order "Daughters of the Holy Cross" from Liège (Belgium) bought the manor house. They followed a call to the hospital in the city of Rees. A monastery, novitiate and lyceum were set up in the castle. During World War II the castle was badly damaged by bombs and shells. After the war ended, it served as a military hospital and hospital before the school was reopened in 1946. In 1972 the monastery and school were separated. Today the Spiritual Center of the Daughters of the Holy Cross is located there, a place of silence, prayer and encounters. After almost 172 years, the story of the Daughters of the Holy Cross in Haus Aspel in Rees-Haldern will come to an end in 2022.

A number of historical buildings can still be seen in the city.
