history

Schellenstein Castle, probably built in 1183, was first mentioned in a document in 1270. The first owner of the castle was probably Gerardus de Bigge. At the end of the 15th century the castle became the property of the Wrede zum Schellenstein family. In 1664 Otto Friedrich von Padberg married Anna Eva Maria de Wrede.

The castle remained in the possession of the von Padberg family from that date until the beginning of the 18th century . These then sold the property to Jobst Edmund von Brabeck . In 1838 Baron Franz Wilhelm von Wendt-Papenhausen zu Gevelinghausen bought the castle from Count Andreas zu Stolberg, the husband of the late Philippine Sophie Maria von Brabeck.

In 1904, Pastor Heinrich Sommer founded the Josefs Society at Schellenstein Castle .

In 1965, the Bigge community acquired the castle from Karl-Josef von Wendt-Papenhausen zu Gevelinghausen. 13 years later she sold it to Karl Ames from Rösenbeck . After renovation work, the castle was sold again. First to a GbR and then to a real estate agent. He sold the building to several owners.
