Consbruch Manor (Hiddenhausen)

The origins of the estate date back to the early 15th century, when the Nagel family began acquiring farms and ground rents in the surrounding villages around 1400. In 1701, the Consbruch family took over the property from the Nagels, including the associated land rights. The Consbruchs held the office of bailiff of Enger, making the manor the administrative seat for the communities of Spenge, Enger, and Hiddenhausen, and it was also known as the Amtshaus. In this capacity, the Consbruchs were simultaneously notaries, arbitrators, and judges. The current buildings, including the central manor house, primarily date from the 17th and 18th centuries.
