Nienborg is a village in the municipality of Heek in western Münsterland . The farmers Wext, Wichum, Callenbeck and Ammert belong to Nienborg.
history
The small town in Westmünsterland attracted particular interest at the end of the 1980s. In the peasantry Wext belonging to Nienborg, one was during fieldwork county grave graveyard exposed the already pointing to a settlement long before the birth of Christ and this also occupied.
In 1198 the Landesburg Nienborg was built by Prince-Bishop Hermann II von Katzenelnbogen as "castrum novum" (Latin: new castle ) on the Bedinghoff bishopric -Münster table estate in the parish of Heek . The founding of Nienborg is dated to this year. In 1256 it was called Nyenborch . The first written mention of the village Nienborg took place in 1308. The castle consisted of two parts, an upper and a lower castle. The upper complex is mentioned in a document in 1311 and was probably the main castle; the oval lower castle was connected to this by a fortification.
The castle was destroyed in the Spanish-Dutch War in 1593 but rebuilt around 1600 before it fell into disrepair in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century the castle belonged to Gut Haus Bevern . Only three Burgmannenhäuser, Hohes Haus , Langes Haus and Keppelborg as well as the gatehouse and remains of the Romanesque curtain wall are preserved from the former Landesburg .
The castle was occupied by episcopal castle men. These established residences on the area. Behind the up to 10 m high walls there was space for over 30 Burgmannshöfe . Since the 15th century the castle lost its strategic importance as a safeguard of the trade route from Münster to Deventer . In 1765 it was decreed that all dilapidated parts of the castle should be laid down for security reasons; In 1812 the Corpus Burgmannorum was officially dissolved.
Only three of the Burgmannshöfe have survived : Hohes Haus , Langes Haus and Keppel's Burgmannshof, the so-called Keppelborg . It was built as a two-wing structure in the course of the old castle wall. The older part of the building consists of a two-story mansion with a basement, while the younger part was the service wing. The core of the building dates from the 15th or 16th century. The owners were the von Sasse and von Münster families, from 1560 by marriage to von Keppel and from 1729 by inheritance to von Heyden , from whom the current owners from the court inherited it.
Two marriage coats of arms indicate renovations in the 18th century: The alliance coat of arms above the gate of the farm wing from the 18th century shows the coats of arms of Keppel and Schwansbell ; the other coat of arms on the narrow wall to the west is dated 1702 and also bears the coats of arms of Keppel and Schwansbell; they come from Dieterich Otto von Keppel and his second wife Chatarina Alexandrina von Schwansbell. Another indication of extensive construction work is the inscription formed from the wall anchor on the southern outer wall: "AO 1702". During this time the gables were probably removed and replaced with a hipped roof. The castle wall, still visible on the west side, was restored in 1962.
