history

Brincke Castle was built in the 13th century and was first mentioned in 1351. The builders were the gentlemen von Brincke . It was owned by the von Kerssenbrock family since 1439 . From 1674 to 1675 there was an expansion; among other things, the mansion was rebuilt. Ferdinand von Kerssenbrock was inherited in 1754 by his cousin Friedrich Ferdinand Freiherr von Korff called Schmising, who took the name Freiherr von Korff called Schmiesing-Kerssenbrock ; his descendant Clemens August, electoral Cologne council and prince-bishop Münsterscher Obermarschall, was raised to the Prussian count status in 1816. The Counts of Korff called Schmising-Kerssenbrock-Praschma own the Brincke house to this day.
