Manor House Heerfeld
The manor house Heerfeld is located in Liesborn in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Warendorf . The State Conservation Office in Westphalia (LWL) has from the middle ages derived knight's seat as a monument classified first order.
history
The knight's seat was first mentioned in 1194 in a document from the Liesborn abbot Engelbert. In 1251, the bishop of the diocese of Münster , Otto II von Lippe , confirmed the acquisition of tithes at Gronhorst in the parish of Wadersloh and at Böntrup in the parish of Liesborn by the Liesborn monastery .
On March 21, 1298, Konrad von Heerfeld was named as the judge of the nobleman von Lippe . From 1321 to 1343 Bernhard von Heerfeld is attested as a free count (non-aristocratic judge) of nobleman Simon I of Lippe at the free chair. As the Lipper's freeman , he has the Lippe Rose in his coat of arms, while the Heerfelder family coat of arms shows a helmet. The manor house Heerfeld belonged to lands with fishing rights, serf farmers and köttern.
In 1728 Friedrich Bernhard Wilhelm von Plettenberg , who was raised to the rank of count in 1724 , grandson of Prince-Bishop Friedrich Christian von Plettenberg from Münster , bought the knight's seat. In 1997 Haus Heerfeld was acquired by the merchants Karl Heinz and Christa Eckervogt. Since then it has been restored and repaired in-house. The moats and the park were restored and the destroyed bridge rebuilt.
The thick packing layer of the filled up rubble in the inner courtyard of the house was removed and the old, relatively well-preserved pavement underneath was carefully exposed piece by piece with a pickaxe.
The road leading to the barn door of the farmyard is reminiscent of an old Roman road with a steep side slope in places. You can still see the strong tracks left by carts in the pavement.
description
Of the current Heerfeld buildings, the main house with its L-shaped floor plan is the oldest. In the gable of the farm yard there is a rectangular Deelentor with the dates 1597, 1721, 1770, 1899. A well-preserved, plastered, thick border beam above the barn door shows the years of construction of the building with the years 1597 and 1720.
On the former outer bailey there are stables in brick construction . They were built around 1875 and fit in well with the overall layout. The old paving has been exposed again in the inner courtyard. In the process, pavement areas came to light with a central inner circle and two further outer circles indicating a specific use, which, however, has not yet been clarified. It is the same with thick sandstone blocks on the outer edge of the circle.
