The Felddieksboll motte to the south may have been the castle's predecessor. Loxten Castle was built in 1474 by Johann von Dinklage on an existing farm, which had presumably been brought into the marriage by his wife, Rixa von Brawe, as a fief of the County of Tecklenburg. His son, also named Johann, was a burgomaster of Quakenbrück Castle but lived in Loxten. In 1649, the Dinklage line of Loxten died out in the male line, and the property passed through marriage in 1653 to Captain Franz von Frydag zu Buddenburg. His son sold the property to Christian Günther von Hammerstein in 1682. He had the present castle built between 1691 and 1698. The Barons von Hammerstein-Loxten still live on the property, which was renovated in 1921/22.

Haus Sögeln is a typical manor in the former Prince-Bishopric of Osnabrück. The functional, simple main house was built at the end of the 18th century and is surrounded by a park enclosed by moats. Since the middle of the 14th century, there is documentary evidence of a noble habitatio (= fortified dwelling) in the farming community of Sögeln. This is where the landlord lived, on whom the surrounding farms were dependent (serfed). The oldest part of the current complex is probably the gate tower, which may have its origins in a defensive residential tower. The defensive character of this complex, which was still referred to as a castle in the 16th century, is illustrated by the loopholes on the ground floor. Sögeln changed hands frequently over the centuries. In 1793, Friedrich Philipp von Hammerstein zu Equord acquired the estate and had the main house rebuilt. The old building obviously no longer met the demands of the time, both in terms of its representative function and living comfort. After he died in 1802, heavily in debt and without direct heirs, the estate was acquired by the general tax collector Rathgen in 1817. The property passed to the von Rappard family via his stepdaughter. Irmengard von Rappard, who was engaged to the then Lieutenant Paul von Bebeckendorf and Hindenburg, the later President of the Reich, died in Sögeln in 1871 at the young age of 17. Today, the complex, which can be reached via an old linden tree avenue, offers a special kind of overnight accommodation with its many outbuildings. https://www.osnabruecker-land.de/erlebnisse/wasserburg-gut-soegeln

The house has had castle rights for centuries, as well as fishing and hunting rights. The coat of arms above the entrance door bears witness to this. Hesepe Castle was more or less a branch of Alt Barenaue Castle.

Loxten Moated Castle & Estate, mid-16th century, Dutch Neoclassical, Southeast of the present farmstead stood a fortified complex, first mentioned in 1474 as a dowry by Rixa von Brawe during her marriage to Johann von Dincklage. An heir, Frydag zu Buddenburg, then sold Loxten in 1682 to Lieutenant Colonel Christian-Günther von Hammerstein, who thus established the Loxten branch of the family. Serving as a member of the Order of Orange, he and his wife Agnes, née Schenck von Winterstedt, commissioned a Dutch architect to design a two-story manor house in the Dutch Renaissance style. Construction began in 1691. When Christian-Günther was killed in battle a year later, his widow continued the construction with the help of her brother-in-law, who lived in Gesmold. The entire complex was completed in 1698. Initially the property was used as a summer or country residence.

Unfortunately, the castle can only be visited from the outside, but it looks very well maintained and the architecture is admirable.

Avenue at the moated castle

It's actually a rather inconspicuous place up here: In this small clearing (which is now being reforested) once stood one of three castles belonging to the heathen king Wittekind (hence Wittekindsburg), the Wiecksburg in Gehnberge on the Borghecke between Bramsche and Ueffeln. Unfortunately, nothing more can be seen of the castle, there are only smaller rubble stones lying around and the area and walls give an idea that a building once stood here.

Until my bike led me to this estate with a moated castle, I didn't know it. The property is evidently in good hands and very well maintained. Simply driving past it without stopping is not possible. For me a very impressive property that I would have loved to see more of, but private is private.
