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.

Nice place for a coffee break.

The Winnenthal house, also known as Winnenthal Castle and Winnenthal Castle, is a castle complex between Unterbieren and Alpen-Veen

The eventful building history goes back to the end of the 14th century.

Already in the early 14th century there was a castle above an old arm of the Rhine in the parish of Bislich, called Diersfordt, which belonged to the Lords of Hesse. Their successors, the Lords of Wylich, consistently expanded the complex as the center of a magnificent residence with three towers. The granary called Porthaus from 1432 still bears witness to this today. The residential castle itself had to give way to a palace in the 18th century. Conversion to the two-tower palace began in 1776 and was completed a good twenty years later. This castle burned down completely on December 21, 1928. The remains were broken off. The cornerstone of today's single-tower palace, designed by the Duisburg architect Wilhelm Weimann, was laid in August 1929. The inauguration was celebrated in August of the following year. At the end of the Second World War, the castle was damaged by shell fire. Shortly after the war, when the British military commander was billeted there, the house and tower received the temporary roofs that are still in place today. Today the castle is privately owned by the Beichert family and can be rented for festivities or conferences.
