Museums

In the tower of Davensberg Castle there is a museum run by the Davensberg Heritage Association. The focus of the exhibition is on old rural cultural implements.

Davensberg Castle

The round tower made of bricks and quarry stone masonry was part of the Davensberg knight's castle and was probably built around 1530, but it fell into disrepair around 1750. The castle was probably built by the Lords of Büren , a powerful noble family from the Prince Diocese of Paderborn . In 1599 the castle was divided up and became the property of the Lords of Morrien on Nordkirchen and Wolf von Füchteln. During the Thirty Years War , the facility was subjected to severe destruction. In 1634 the castle and the adjacent freedom were set on fire by Lüneburg troops. On the upper floor of the tower, which was last restored in 1971, there is a fireplace room, below a prison and at the bottom a dungeon. In the castle tower there was also the studio of the sculptor and honorary citizen of the community of Ascheberg Friedrich Press .

House Byink

View of Byink House

House Byink was built in 1558 by Heinrich von Ascheberg as a Westphalian farmhouse in the Renaissance style in its present form. However, there was a previous building that was owned by the von Aschebergs around 1400. The facility was laid out as a two-island moated castle. Part of it is a mighty two-story gatehouse (built in 1561) with two semicircular tower-like porches. The building with the one and a half meter thick walls near the knight seat Romberg consists of brick mosaic. In 1698 the house came into the possession of Christoph Engelbert von Beverförde-Werries through a legacy . The history of this family line ended in 1780. House Byink came, together with other property, as a result of adoption to Friedrich Clemens von Elverfeld , who founded the branch called Elverfeldt from Beverfoerde to Werries . Since 1984 the house has been the home of Ida Freifrau von Elverfeldt. The manor house that stood on a separate island no longer exists today.

House Romberg

The small knight's seat Haus Romberg is also located in Davensberg . Loopholes at the gatehouse as well as trenches and ramparts still bear witness to this past. The mansion, built in the Renaissance style, is opposite the gatehouse passage. An octagonal tower with corner blocks made of sandstone is attached to the manor house.

Catholic parish church of St. Anna

The Catholic parish church of St. Anna was built between 1497 and 1510. The late Gothic single-nave brick building goes back to Balthasar von Büren . Inside the church is one of Johann Brabender 1566 created altarpiece to see the wing with paintings Hermann tom ring is equipped.

Davensberg memorial for Pope Innocent VIII (1432–1492)

Pope monument

On February 24, 1995, at the suggestion of the Davensberg Heimatverein, a monument to Pope Innocent VIII was inaugurated next to the church . In the deed of August 26, 1490, the latter gave the approval for the construction of St. Anna's Church in Davensberg. A controversial discussion broke out over this, because the life's work of this Pope is linked to the beginning of the witch hunts.
