House Keuschenburg was a manor in Ostenfelde (Ennigerloh) in North Rhine-Westphalia on the Mühlenbach. In 1868 it was partially demolished. The basement of the manor house and the utility building are still there and have been a listed building since December 17, 1987.
description
The castle consisted of a manor house with northern farm buildings and a southern keep , which could still be seen until the beginning of the 17th century. The mansion had an almost square floor plan with a side length of about 19⅛ meters and two floors and five windows to the front. The basement was four meters high and consisted of a knight's hall with a fireplace, a small chapel and two adjoining rooms. There were six rooms upstairs. While the basement was made of quarry stone with a thickness of one meter, there was a framework of the upper floor, which was later made of bricks ; everything was covered with light-colored plaster. The lower part is believed to date from the 14th century, while everything else was added later.
history
Hinricus dictus Vinke de Ostenfelde built Varnholt Castle around 1300 , which means “in front of the wood” and from which the current term Vornholz can easily be derived. At the same time, a half-brother of Hinricus built the Keuschenburg. In addition, the castrum tor Horst becomes the Nienburg (new castle). In 1333, a certain Adolphus dictus Kursne de Ostenfelde is given as the owner of the house Kessenborg , Keissenborg or Korssenborg . He was followed by Heinrich Vinke von Ostenfelde, who held the castle until 1433; from 1440 to 1519 von Hellerfeld Burgmann family called Naschart from Stromberg ; 1519–1545 Temmo Voss on house Niengraben near Enniger ; 1545–1615 Wilbrand von Nagel .
The long-running legal dispute between the owners of the Nienburg and the Keuschenburg began around 1580. In 1615 Jost and Phillip von Korff-Harkotten held the usufructuary rights that were denied them in 1622. During the Thirty Years' War , Christian von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and his allied Hessians attacked Ostenfelde twice. The street Hessenknapp not far from the castle therefore got its name. From 1622 to 1695 the Droste zu Erwitte came into the possession of the Keuschenburg, as the owner of Nagel-Loburg could not redeem a pledge. Against this, Dietrich Hermann von Nagel , Amtsdroste zu Stromberg and colonel in the army of Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen , took action. In 1666 he was enfeoffed by the bishop with the Keuschenburg. Although the Droste led to Erwitte several trials before the Reich Chamber of Commerce , which he also won. But neither the prince-bishop nor General Christoph Bernhard von Nagel zu Vornholz, a godchild of the bishop, adhered to the judgment. Johann Droste zu Erwitte was arrested on April 26, 1675, and on August 7 of the same year, on the orders of Prince Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the neighboring Nienburg was destroyed by soldiers of Dietrich Hermann von Nagel. The arrested Droste was able to escape and won another trial before the Reich Chamber of Commerce. On November 1, 1697, Christoph Bernhard von Nagel released the Keuschenburg and bought the destroyed Nienburg from "the Blessed Lord von Droste zu Nienborg" for 45,000 thalers in order to avert further damage to the Nagel family. In 1698, however, the Keuschenburg came back to the heirs of Johann Droste zu Erwitte as compensation for the destroyed Nienburg through an appeal at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Speyer; the latter remained in his possession of Nagel. In 1742 Josef Marsil Wilhelm Xaver von Nagel zur Loburg , based on old feudal claims, succeeded in making the Keuschenburg available again for his family in the form of a usufruct . In 1778, his son, Clemens August Theodor Josef von Nagel zur Loburg , who was hard pressed by his creditors, moved with his family to the Keuschenburg, which was safe for him because he did not own it. From here he organized the sale, the foreclosure auction and the associated legal processes for the paternal inheritance so that he could settle the debts of his ancestors. Most bitterly, on June 7th, 1785, the foreclosure auction of the Loburg Castle , the ancestral seat of his family, affected him, which his father had just achieved.
In 1802 the Keuschenburg came to the Counts Korff called Schmising zu Tatenhausen, the brother-in-law of Clemens August, who from then on supported the family. In 1827, shortly before his death, Clemens August von Nagel, who was always in financial straits, had to replace (financial compensation) and allodify the Keuschenburg estate, which had previously been a fief, to the owner. Then the whole family archive of those zu Nagel went to Tatenhausen , from where it was finally deposited in 1995 by Benedikt Freiherr Teuffel zu Birkensee in the depot of the United Westphalian Aristocratic Archives in the North Rhine-Westphalia Department of Westphalia . In the 17th century the southern keep was demolished because it was no longer of any military importance. In 1868 the upper floor of the manor house was demolished; only the basement and an extension remained. The as yet unexplored archive of the House of Keuschenburg, with numerous parchment documents and attached seals, was stored in a wooden chest by the landlord Raue in Westkirchen on the instructions of Rentmeister Trömpert and was lost in the village fire on 19 July 1868. In 1997 it was sold to the previous tenant Timmerherm by the heirs of Count Korff called Schmising. The basement of the manor house, an annex, the agricultural utility building and the eastern moat of the adjacent Mühlbach have been preserved from Keuschenberg , which in their enclosures still testify to the former strength of defense.
