The castle stage , also castle Piun called one was castle in the district stage (at Castle Park 12) the city of Borgentreich in Höxter district in North Rhine-Westphalia .
history
The layout of the stage castle probably goes back to a yard from the 13th century, with which the family von Spiegel zum Desenberg was enfeoffed by the Paderborn bishop. In the middle of the 16th century the family left Desenberg Castle . The various branches of the family founded new knight seats, including on the castle stage.
The main castle from the 16th century, which has largely disappeared, was originally a moated castle. To the north, west and east it was secured by a four m high wall. In the south there was a lower castle in front of it, of which only parts of the defensive wall with loopholes remain.
In 1588, the four branches of the family based on the knights' seats in Rothenburg, Klingenburg , Übelgönne and Bühne agreed to mutually use each other as inheritance when a line in the male line died out. As a result, all four estates remained in the possession of the von Spiegel family until modern times. In the 19th century, most of the buildings in the main castle were demolished by the Spiegel family and the castle grounds were rebuilt with an agricultural estate. In this context, large barns were built around the farm yard and in 1822 two two-story half-timbered buildings with large hipped roofs were built symmetrically to the entrance to the courtyard. These gatehouses served the respective owners or landlords as residential houses.
In the late 19th century, the estate business experienced an upswing, as the von Spiegel owners combined their Westphalian property and owned over 50% of the Bühner land. At the end of the 19th century, however, there was an inheritance dispute that led to the decline of the estate. In 1939 Baron Werner von Spiegel zu Desenberg was named as the owner. In 1986 the complex was placed under a preservation order. In 2012 the descendants of the von Spiegel family sold the estate, which was in dire need of renovation.
In 2013, the new owner had the southern gatehouse and a barn demolished due to a demolition permit from the district of Höxter that was only issued for this purpose , as the roofs had already collapsed. In 2019, the Lower Monument Protection Authority ordered an inspection through the city and the monument authority based at the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe to inspect the northern gatehouse. The owner sued the Minden Administrative Court against this . On April 27, 2019, the northern gatehouse was " illegally demolished " because this time there was no demolition permit. The owner commented that he had neither commissioned nor wanted the demolition of the northern gatehouse. "The fact that the entire Burg stage was in ruins at the end is due to an accident ".
