Amtshof Historical Background A particularly historically significant part of Syke is hidden at the Amtshof. In its southern half stretch the tree-covered remains of a ring wall, which may have been built as early as the 8th or 9th century in the middle of the marshy Hache valley. During the second half of the 13th century, the Counts of Neubruchhausen are said to have reinforced the fortification. It likely became the administrative and judicial center at this time, at the latest. From 1384/88 onwards, the Counts of Hoya were in charge. They had a watermill built opposite their newly acquired castle and, in order to store the necessary water from the Hache river, the mill dam and reservoir.
