House Venne
The house Venne is as Wasserburg or Wasserschloss designated property in Drensteinfurt -Mersch in Münsterland .
location
Haus Venne is very close to the Mersch train station, about 1.5 kilometers from Haus Itlingen in Ascheberg - Herbern on the L671.
history
The first owners probably took the name of the house and thus called themselves von Venne . Later the property was owned by the von Galen family . These are first mentioned in a document in 1299. In 1410 a von Galen, presumably from House Venne, married the heir to House Ermelinghof . In 1611 Venne passed to the current owners, the von Ascheberg . These had been Drosten of the episcopal office of Werne for generations. Even after the old administrative districts were dissolved in 1802, Johann Mathias Freiherr von Ascheberg remained a von Ascheberg Droste and ultimately became the first district administrator of the new (first) district of Lüdinghausen .
state of construction
House Venne is a symmetrically laid out palace complex from the early 18th century, which was built around 1710 according to plans by Lambert Friedrich von Corfey from a main brick house and four symmetrically assigned auxiliary buildings. It is a spacious rectangle without wings. To the right and left of the castle entrance are two identical buildings. The one on the left was set up in 1771 as a house chapel with Rococo furnishings and a ceiling painting that is well worth seeing. There are a total of four symmetrically arranged outbuildings, one of which is the chapel. The other three are used as farm buildings for agriculture. A highlight is the garden house built by Johann Conrad Schlaun behind the main building in the park . The moats and ponds that surround the house are fed by the Mühlenbach , which is connected to the Werse in the north via the Umlaufbach .
