House Loburg

Haus Loburg (formerly the Loburg ) is a 16th century mansion in the Sirksfeld farming community near Coesfeld in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is an old noble residence surrounded by a moat , the roots of which are said to go back to the times of Charlemagne . From 1550 to 1560 the property was built by the Westphalian noble family von Graes and remained in the family for more than three centuries.
In 1912 Prince Alfred of the Salm-Salm family bought the Loburg House from Anholt Castle and bequeathed it to his son Franz Prinz zu Salm-Salm, the grandfather of the current owner, in 1923.
On March 10, 1945, the facility was the target of a bomb attack. Only the basement of the completely destroyed west wing remained of the Loburg manor house. The roof of the cellar vault is now used as a terrace. In the years 1946 to 1949, the gate wing was rebuilt as a two-storey brick building with ashlar structure and a stepped gable in the Renaissance style.
The apparently still well-fortified property is surrounded by agricultural buildings and a park. Its current owner, Franz Prinz Salm zu Salm, still manages around 100 hectares of inherited forests.
Loburger variety
Every year, on the third Sunday in Advent, the so-called “Vielerlei” takes place at the Loburg. Then there, in addition to mulled wine and waffles, z. B. objects of art made of copper, felt and wood, as well as jewelry, vegetables, wines and wild products can be purchased.
