House Kastein
House Kastein (also Karstein , Castein or Canstein ) was located in the Neandertal north of the confluence of the Mettmanner Bach in the Düssel .
In 1417, Duke Adolf VII von Jülich-Berg certified that the farm and heir de Kasteyn in the parish of Mettmann with mill and all accessories were sold to his servant Johann von Breyde and his heirs by the co-heirs. Since Kastein was a Bergisches Vogt and service property, but was left lying in desolation by the co-heirs, it had reverted to the Duke. However, since Johann had rendered him faithful service, he transferred the right of inheritance to him and exempted the property from all taxes.
In 1444 Johann von Breyde and his wife Mettel sold the Kastein house with the mill and accessories to the knight Goswin von Schwanenberg , Landdrost von Berg and his wife Katharina. Only two years (1446) later, he sold the house and mill to the Cologne citizen Hermann von Dringenberg. From 1478 to 1700 the house was in the hands of the von Buer men . In 1700 Carl von Bawyr / Buer Kastein sold to the Jülich-Bergischer Hofrat Joan Benard Francken and his brother Arnold Alexander Francken , mayor of Monschau ( Monjoye ). The latter were enfeoffed with Kastein in the same year.
Between the First and Second World War , the house had to give way to a limestone quarry.
