House Heerfeld

The picturesque Heerfeld manor in Wadersloh is a true medieval gem: idyllically and wonderfully quietly situated on the edge of the Lippe floodplain nature reserve, it has developed over its long history into a jewel of the southern Münsterland.

Monument of the first rank

The estate, which has been categorised as a first-class monument, has only been open to the public for a few years. You can discover the huge park with its impressive sculptures during certain opening hours. Guided tours and group tours can be arranged by telephone. You can also drop by for selected events. For example, those interested can be enchanted by the Gräftenhof with its striking red and yellow shutters as part of the Münsterland Palaces and Castles Day. A stop on your cycle tour along the 100 Castles Route is definitely worthwhile.

Medieval manor

A visit to the Rittergut Heerfeld is always a journey into the past. The manor, first documented in 1194, was in the hands of the brothers Albertus and Arnoldus de Hervelde and was a free noble manor until modern times. Since the 18th century, the estate has been occupied by various tenant families. It was not until 1997 that the now neglected estate passed into private ownership - and was then extensively restored with great passion by the new owners. Great importance is attached to the preservation of the historical substance. Even today, the tracks of old carts can be seen in the pavement.

Good luck and new luck

As you approach the Heerfeld manor, you will inevitably pass an old wayside cross. In the shade of a mighty lime tree, the monument commemorates the former tenant Henrich Duhme Anno Domini, who was struck by lightning and died here in 1822. As tragic as the story ended back then, the present is all the more pleasing. The Eckervogt family has been renovating and restoring the manor for over 20 years and has developed it into a small paradise surrounded by greenery.
