Buildings

The manor house on the Vordereichholz manor was built in 1687 in place of an older moated castle; the builders were those of Oeynhausen . The round chapel was set up and consecrated in a former gate tower in 1658; it is equipped with a baroque altar . In 1737 the local branch of the Oeynhausen family died out and the estate was leased. This was followed by the von der Lippe zu Vinsebeck and from 1765 to 1953 the Count Wolff-Metternich zu Vinsebeck. The agricultural business with the manor house has belonged to the Lödige family, who used to manage it.
