At the foot of Tecklenburg, one of the most beautiful half-timbered towns in the Münsterland, lies the moated castle Haus Marck. Idyllically nestled in a valley meadow and surrounded by its moat, the manor house is considered an insider tip worth seeing by explorers of the Tecklenburg region.
The Knights of Horne acquired the property in 1368 to build a castle. As early as 1490, however, a new Haus Marck was built, which in the following centuries underwent a few changes of ownership and two major phases of reconstruction, one of them in 1562 in the Renaissance style. The house received its present appearance as a four-winged, single-storey complex in the Baroque style in 1754 after a collapse of the former complex. Since 1803, the estate has been owned by the von Diepenbroick-Grüter family, which has preserved the estate including the surrounding nature.
Innenbesichtigungen sind nur im Rahmen einer Führung möglich.
Far-reaching decisions were made within the walls: in 1643, preliminary negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia took place at Haus Marck, which ended the Thirty Years' War in 1648. In 1831, the estate was also the birthplace of Friedrich von Bodelschwingh, the founder of the Bodelschwingh Institutions named after him.
