The house Hameren is a former two-part Wasserburg in the town of Billerbeck , Coesfeld , in the Münsterland in Westphalia in the north of the state North Rhine-Westphalia . The plant stands today as monument under monument protection .
history
The plant was built as a moated castle soon after 1325. First, it was the seat of the eponymous family Hameren , later the Gelders nobles Diderick von der Horst and from 1480 the family of Raesfeld ; it is the birthplace of the prominent brothers Bernhard von Raesfeld , Gottfried von Raesfeld , Heinrich von Raesfeld , Arnd von Raesfeld , Bitter von Raesfeld and Dietrich Franz von Raesfeld . In 1543 the inheritance was divided into two halves, one of which later passed to the von Pallandt families and then to the von Schilder families . In 1755 both halves of the castle were brought together again. In 1788 the house came to von Kolff, in 1832 finally to von Merode and from there to von Twickel , who are still the owners today.
A rectangular tower ( donjon ) still stands from the late Middle Ages , probably the only castle building in the Münsterland that has hardly changed from the Middle Ages.
