Schackum Manor (Büderich)

The present 4-winged brick farmstead was built at the end of the 19th century in place of a former moated castle. The fortified farmstead, known as "Haus Schackum", documents that people in earlier days wanted to protect themselves against military attacks with the help of fortified farms. The farmstead thus reflects the history of people and this area with its many warlike threats. Furthermore, the farm is a testament to a specific economic form and is therefore significant for the development of labor and production relations in the Meerbusch urban area. Finally, this farmstead proves the agricultural past in the settlement of today's city of Meerbusch.
