History+

The history of Holzhausen Castle is closely linked to the von der Borch family, who likely received the estate as a fief in 1464 from Prince-Bishop Simon III zur Lippe, then sovereign of the Prince-Bishopric of Paderborn. Documented evidence of the family's presence on the estate dates back to 1483. The current estate complex, whose oldest buildings date from the 16th century, was constructed during this period.
