History of the Building+

The castle was built around 1700. Until 1839, the castle was owned by the von Hünerbein family. They were followed by the Löbbecke family, and from 1844 until their forced expropriation and expulsion by the communists in 1945, the von Knigge family. Since 1952, the castle has been used as an orphanage.
