Wilkinghege Castle

Today's castle originated from a moated castle that was first mentioned in 1311 as a feudal estate of the von Rhemen zu Barsfeld family. The castle subsequently changed hands several times and in 1545 was the temporary property of the von Droste zu Hülshoff family. In its present form, the brick building was erected in 1550 by the Steveninck zu Broich family and rebuilt in Baroque style in 1719. In the meantime, it was once again the property of the von Rhemen zu Barensfeld family and subsequently of other owners, but the land and buildings finally became the property of the Winnecken family. Initially operated and used as a country estate, they had the manor house converted into an imposing hotel , which today meets the highest standards with its elegant rooms, splendid rooms and a romantic setting.
