Reckeringhausen Castle

The castle Recke Ringshausen occasionally, castle Reckershausen called, is an Outbound Wasserburg in the district of My Ringshausen , a suburb of Korbach in northern Hesse Waldeck-Frankenberg . There are no more structural remains.

Geographical location

The small moated castle was located in the deserted village of Reckeringhausen , about 1 km north of Meineringhausen, in a brook valley at 328 m above sea ​​level, around 300 m west of today's K 16 district road from Meineringhausen to Strothe . Today the field name “Reckeringhäuser Wiesen” and the wooded area “Reckerohr” to the west of the desert are still reminiscent of the disappeared village, to which a village church is said to have belonged in addition to the small castle .

history

Little is known about the history of the castle. It was probably a small moated castle or moth . It was first mentioned in a document in 1277, but was probably built in the 12th century by the local noble family of the "Reckerichusen", first mentioned in 1227. It was not mentioned again until 1592, when Hermann and Josias von Wolmeringhausen received the castle seat of Reckeringhausen, which Wigand von Reckeringhausen once owned, from Abbot Dietrich IV of Corvey as a fief. In 1623 only a remnant of the castle moat was left as a pond and the Reckeringhausen settlement was already in desolation in the 17th century.
