history
Maybe it was in the 13th century at its present location, a wasserumwehrtes solid house , because in a document of Guelders Count Otto II. From April 14, 1247, a Gender was de Barsdunc mention. House Bellinghoven itself was first mentioned in writing as guet de Bellinchaven in 1369 . At that time it was a Geldrisches fiefdom , for which a Tilman von Bellinghoven is registered as a fiefdom in 1392.
In 1402 Derik von Bellinghoven sat on the estate. He bequeathed it to his son Johan, who married Aleid von Eyll from the neighboring house Ingenray in 1454 . One of their descendants was also called Derik. He left the property to his three children Elbert, Johanna and Adelheid on May 25, 1522. The two sisters still owned the estate in 1542.
In a document dated June 11, 1555, Margr (i) et von Bellinghoven is listed as the owner of the house. She was married to Otto Lintgen, whose family subsequently inherited the house. After Martin von Lobberich had owned the property in the meantime, on March 17, 1569 it belonged to Heinrich and Anne Lintgen, the children of Margr (i) ets von Bellinghoven.
From 1598 Michael von Foppinga, the governor of the Rheinberg Fortress in Spanish service , was the tenant of the house. Under him, the property became eligible for the state parliament, that is, the owner of the property was entitled to a seat and one vote in the Geldrischen state parliament . Perhaps it was also he who had the house on the property made more representative.
The last member of the von Foppinga family, who was enfeoffed with the Bellinghoven house in 1715, was Wilhelm Ignatius, who was then still a minor. After him, the tenants changed several times in the 18th century. Wilhelm Ignatius von Foppinga transferred the system to Johan Michael von Lom, from whom it came to Frederik August von Roseler. His daughter Charlotte Louise married Wulf Frederik Retzou and brought it to his family. Their son Frederik August transferred the property to Albert Wilhelm von Durhan. When his daughter Gertrudis Dorothea Wilhelmina married a member of the Fournier family, Haus Bellinghoven came into their possession. Gertrudis' son Johann Gerhard Fournier received the loan for this in 1780. After his death in 1783 he was followed by his brother Andreas Floris.
Even in the 19th century there were frequent changes of ownership. House Bellinghoven was successively owned by the von Brandenstein, Thissen, Greven and Caroux families before it became the property of the Pasch family in 1870.
Wilhelm Voss acquired the property in 1939 and bequeathed it to his son Gottfried in 1969. The Voss family still owns Haus Bellinghoven today.
