Ingenhoven Castle (Lobberich)
Ingenhoven Castle is a castle in a park in the Lobberich district of Nettetal (Burgstraße 10) in the Viersen district in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1403 in the Guelders feudal register and was the knight's seat of the influential Bocholt noble family (also called Bucholtz), whose ancestral seat was the nearby moated castle Burg Bocholt. The most important representative of the Bocholts was Prince-Abbot Reiner of Corvey Abbey from 1555 to 1585.
In 1748, the castle passed to the von Bentinck family and other noble families through inheritance division, came into bourgeois possession in 1820 via the Count von Mirbach, and later to the industrialist Niedieck family. Kommerzienrat Julius Niedieck had the Villa Haus Erlenbruch built in the southwest of the park.

Description+
In the 16th century, the castle received its current appearance, as indicated by the year 1544 in the castle courtyard. The three-story manor house features brickwork with sandstone walls and has a hip roof and four round corner towers. The "Ingenhovenweiher" still points to the castle's early island location.
