history

The oldest known documentary mention of the farm comes from the year 1213. The story of Anna Holmer played here, which is part of regional literature with the legend "Anna Holmer or the Anabaptists" by Arnold Fokke and the story "Heil'ge Feuer" (1950) by Heinrich Specht has found entry.

According to the legend, Jan Kuiper, the Baptist who was on the run from the bishop of Munster's captors , was hiding in the hollowed out raven tree in Samerott in 1535 before he was discovered by painters who hid him on the farm. Anna Holmer, daughter of the painter and runaway nun, fell in love with him there. Later, Kuiper is said to have taken part in the establishment of the Batenburger resistance group , which, in succession to the Münster Anabaptists, organized attacks on manorial property in the wider area of Emlichheim .

The house researcher Gerhard Eitzen counted the farm in a publication from 1954 "to the most beautiful and stately farms in the county".

Six outbuildings from the 16th and 17th century courtyard ensemble were preserved and extensively renovated in 2011. A small museum was set up in the “New Storage”, which is also used for exhibitions. The neighboring sheepfold houses part of the “ Raumsichten ” project “Topography of meanness” by Christoph Schäfer .
