The Gripswald house is a mansion near the Ossum district, which is now part of Meerbusch . The house is located south of Ossum, on the edge of the Herrenbusch forest , halfway towards Pesch Castle .
history
Originally the manor was probably a moated castle , whose moat was fed by the Buersbach flowing past .
Gut Ossum was first mentioned in a document as early as the 12th century . This is probably the house later called Gripswald . In 1422 freed Archbishop Dietrich of Cologne this very good Ossum his bailiff William of Buederich to Ossum from the duty. In return, the estate was raised to a fiefdom of the Electorate of Cologne .
The house remained under the rule of the Von Büderich family for a long time and belonged to the electorate until secularization .
At the end of the 19th century, the house came into the possession of the von Arenberg family , who also owned the neighboring Pesch Castle.
The house became known, among other things, for the nearby discovery of a Roman cult site in 1863; the sacrificial stones discovered there were named after the excavation site as Gripswalder Matronensteine .
Current condition
In its current form, the Gripswald house is a 4-wing brick courtyard complex, consisting of a 2-storey, rectangular residential building (main structure from 1547) with a round tower extension and a stair tower extension, as well as a 3-wing farm building.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a floor was added to the round tower, with 28 Romanesque double columns from the ruins of the cloister of the Premonstratensian monastery of St. Maria and Andrew in Knechtsteden near Dormagen, which was destroyed in the 18th century, as decoration .

The current host is the publicist and family politician Michaela Freifrau von Heereman , an aunt of Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg , who was often a guest at Haus Gripswald during his childhood.
Today the house is one of the Meerbusch monuments .
A street and an allotment garden colony in Krefeld are named after the Gripswald house.
