Okay, thanks! I'll keep looking!

Unfortunately, I only have the information from the links. Perhaps you can find out more from the local history society 🤷‍♂️

Hello Kapparalf, what an interesting story; I am Marc Siemelink from Diepenveen in the Netherlands and according to a cousin the origin of the Siemelink family lies at this farm / fort Symoninck. Do you know or have any references or other information about this?

This old Havezate is in private use, you may take a photo, the rest cannot be visited

(The location of the castle was about 100m southeast of the church - so not exactly accurate here) History: The Toerne family appears in the documents from 1189 and from 1223 among the castle guards of Bentheim Castle. It is generally assumed that their original seat was south of the church in Uelsen, but this does not appear in the sources or be located more precisely. In 1399, Count Bern zu Bentheim allowed Hinrik van den Toerne to build and construct a dwelling and fortress for the Symoninck heir.

Dinkelrode Castle was first mentioned in 1328. In 1770/71 the castle buildings were completely demolished except for the chapel. See more here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Dinkelrode https://www.ebidat.de/cgi-bin/ebidat.pl?id=5782

This outdoor area is hidden behind trees. The orchard and part of the garden are clearly visible from the road. It is a national monument and nowadays private property. Occasionally concerts are given or there is an open day.

Ringwall castle dating from the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, there is no information board here that explains anything about it. However, the wide ditch that surrounds the easily recognizable hill is surprising.
