history
The Niederungsburg was built around 1300 by Rötger von Galen , who also called himself Vellinchusen , probably on the site of a previous castle.
After the brothers Heinrich and Dieter von Galen shared their inheritance in 1564 and 1566, the castle came to Heinrich von Galen and his wife Clara von Vridag , who probably completed the castle in 1598, as indicated by a Renaissance fireplace on the ground floor . On February 20, 1569, their daughter Dorothea brought the castle into her marriage to Johann von Neheim .
In 1700 General Heinrich von Neheim sold the estate to Kaspar Heinrich von Voss , who was married to Margareta von Korff-Schmising . The east facade and the half-hip roof were adapted to the baroque style and the entrance portal was given the double coat of arms of the couple who built it. Heir Heinrich Viktor von Voss, who married Beata Elisabeth von Vincke in 1746. Their son from their first marriage, Ernst Idel Jobst von Vincke , became the next owner. Not far from the castle, the Battle of Vellinghausen took place in 1761 during the Seven Years' War . The von Vincke family kept the castle until 1979. It has since been resold twice.
