Haus Ingenray, Manor estate near Niers River in Geldern, Germany
Haus Ingenray is a brick building in Geldern-Pont that now serves as the Center for Geldern History at Möhlendyck 22. The structure features a light-colored facade and functions as a cultural venue for the community.
The house was first documented in the late 14th century as the residence of the rentmaster of Geldern's ducal territory. Major modifications occurred in the 15th century, reshaping the building into its current form.
The estate holds a collection maintained by the Emilie and Hans Stratmans Foundation, featuring maps, coins, and religious objects from the former Geldern territory. These items reflect the daily life and customs of the region throughout the centuries.
The estate is open by appointment and can host conferences, meetings, celebrations, and cultural programs. Advance arrangements are necessary to visit the collections or book the space for an event.
The suffix 'ray' in the name comes from a medieval term for cleared land common in the Lower Rhine region. This local naming tradition reveals how settlers described the landscape and territorial changes.
