history
Originally the building was a three-wing complex with a surrounding moat and was used by the Lords of Bronckhorst as a hunting lodge . Because Joost von Bronckhorst-Batenburg died childless in 1553, the property came to his niece Irmgard von Wisch and her husband Georg von Limburg-Styrum . The Limburg-Styrum family had held the property for a long time until in 1658 Otto von Limburg-Styrum sold it to Goswijn de Buininck because of high debts. In 1665 a council of war was held at Huis te Eerbeek because of the Anglo-Dutch War .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the German-Dutch zoologist Max Wilhelm Carl Weber († 1937) and his wife, the algologist Anna Weber-van Bosse († 1942) lived at Huis te Eerbeek, where they had set up a small laboratory. The Webers ran the lands, tended the gardens with exotic plants and at times kept exotic animals such as birds of paradise or a cassowary from the Siboga expedition .
