Lohn House
Highlight • Historical Site
Haus Lohn in Südlohn, not to be confused with the former Lohn Castle in today's Stadtlohn, was rebuilt around 1785 on the site of an older, burned-down structure on the Schlinge.
The building with five axes, surrounded by a moat, is considered the only early classicist noble residence in the Borken district. It is a brick building with a hipped roof covered with tiles. After a fire in 1837, an upper floor was added to the building, so that today it is two-story. The outer walls are whitewashed and the windows have shutters. The entrance door on the front is highlighted by sandstone surrounds, a small staircase and the narrow central projection towering above it. Above the entrance is the coat of arms of the Belgian noble family Looz-Corswarem, who owned Haus Lohn from 1841 to 1856. The entrance to the house is flanked on the right-hand side by outbuildings. The current house is still surrounded by a moat on three sides.
A drawing from the end of the 16th century shows a complex of several larger and smaller buildings that stand on an island in a pond. The gaps between the houses are closed by short walls. The inner courtyard area appears to be additionally protected by a wall towards the entrance. Access is via a drawbridge through a gatehouse.[34]
In 1357, Dietrich von Dornoke or Dornick called Loneken was the first owner of the Lohn house. It was probably a side branch of the noblemen von Lohn. From 1500 onwards, the owners called themselves "von Loen". Lohn house is privately owned
