Gut Laar , Laer, Laarwald or Laerwald is a former knight's seat in the town of the same name (Grafschaft Bentheim) . As early as 1227, this castle and its splendor were owned by the Counts of Bentheim. This castle should not be confused with the castle of the same name near Ommen.
history
The estate was mentioned for the first time in 1227 after it was conquered by the Burgrave Rudolf van Coevorden from Count Boldewin von Bentheim , who as Burgrave of Utrecht was allied with the Bishop of Utrecht . Rudolf continued to expand Laar Castle until it was completely destroyed by the bishop of Utrecht in the same year. After the destruction, the Count von Bentheim enfeoffed the Laar estate with Eilhard von Bentheim, whose descendants called themselves van den Lare . The Bentheim fiefdom remained in the possession of the Bentheim Burgmann family until 1380. Engelbert von Salne, who was married to his heir Jutta von Laar, was the successor to the Laar estate. He had the property reattached and levied customs on the Vechte to the chagrin of all who made use of this trade route.
After the castle was razed again, Engelbert had to promise the cities of Kampen, Zwolle and Deventer as well as the Bishop of Utrecht that neither he nor his family would be allowed to build a fortress along the Vechte without the permission of the parties mentioned. In addition, customs should never be levied in Laar again. After that, the Laar house was built again and again as a befitting stone house. In 1685 a new mansion was built by the von Laar family. The one-story building that can be seen in the photo, however, dates from the mid-18th century.

Remarks
- ↑ The speculative research result of the genealogist Willem Wijnaendts van Resandt on the family van Laer tot Hoenlo , "De stamreeks van het uitgestorven adellijk Overijsselsch geslacht van Laer" NL probably contributed to this confusion . leeuw 1933, pp. 343-247. His remarks on this family were already controversial during his lifetime; see AL Heerma van Voss "De stamreeks van het uitgestorven adellijk Overijsselsch geslacht van Laer"; NL published in the same year . leeuw 1933 pp. 379-381. Engelbert von Salne and Jutte von Laar do not mention any fiefdoms in or around Ommen in the "leenrepertorium van Overijssel". In addition, the Laer van Hoenlo had a completely different coat of arms - seven silver lilies in blue (3; 3; 1) - compare the coat of arms of the Laar to Laarwald . Quote: " De oudste vermelding van havezathe 't Laer dateert uit 1382 toen Hugo van den Laer het goed van de bisschop van Utrecht in leen ontving. Hugo van den Laer behoorde tot het geslacht van Verssen of Varssen, uit de gelijknamige buurtschap onder Ommen. De laatste generation van deze familie Laer op 't Laer were Hendrik van Laer en zijn vrouw Agnes van Oldeneel who he vanaf 1433. Het Laer will toen een achterleen van het huis Hoenlo . Lange tijd daarna will een zijtak van de Van Laers met het goed beleend. "See: Kuijl, E. van der: Bureauonderzoek Archeologie Plangebied Laarmanshoek te Ommen, Gemeente Ommen Hamaland Advies Vof, Zelhem. 2011, p. 15. It is therefore certain that the family and the Laar estate in Ommen had nothing to do with the Laar in Bentheim, nor with the Engelbert von Salne and Jutta von Laar couple.
