The simple baroque manor house Döring in beautiful Marbeck, a district of Borken, guards a secret in the depths of its foundation walls. The far-reaching history as well as many exciting experiences of the originally medieval estate lie hidden here...
In the cellar vaults of today's baroque complex are the cool contemporary witnesses of the castle's history: large-format foundation bricks of Döring Castle from the 12th century. Originally, the moated castle was built on an artificial, eight-metre-high hill. The residential tower offered the best view of approaching enemies. In addition, the complex was enclosed by a moat and equipped with a watermill, which still exists, and a farm building on an outer bailey. During its history, the seat of power of the chivalrous Döring family served as a loan, was conquered, pawned, sold and burnt down several times. In 1727, the building that can be seen today was erected as a two-storey, three-axis Baroque mansion on the foundation walls of the castle, obliterating the medieval traces. Since 1922, the castle has been privately owned by the Anton Klümper family.
