Gut Venninghausen

The Good Venninghausen is a Grade II listed secular building in Brünen , a district of Hamminkeln in Wesel ( Nordrhein-Westfalen ).

History and architecture

The house is probably identical to the palace and estate Hopen mentioned in 1356 as a fiefdom of the Bishop of Münster, Ludwig II . The two-storey half - timbered building with brick fillings was composed of two structures. The facility is surrounded by a double moat . The southern part with the inwardly curved head braces was built before 1600. With the construction of four compartments, two are allocated to the hearth of the 18th century with a pebble floor from 1728 and one compartment each to the two up chambers. This part was expanded in brick in the 18th and 19th centuries. The northern building from 1656, with the outwardly curved head braces, is a building of three compartments, with a double fireplace in the large ground floor room. The farm buildings belonging to that time have not been preserved. Today there is a half-timbered hall house with brick filling from around 1700 that does not belong to the complex .
