Ravenhorst, Manor estate in Winterswijk, Netherlands.

The Ravenhorst estate features traditional Dutch architectural elements and extends across expansive grounds north of Winterswijk's central area.

The medieval castle of Ravenhorst, owned by the Van Rhemen knight family since the 12th century, burned down during warfare around 1500.

The estate played a central role in local governance as a havezate, a fortified residence that granted its owners special privileges in regional assemblies.

The former location of the watermill, which operated until 1870 with a 4.4-meter diameter wheel containing 42 blades, is no longer visible today.

Local legends speak of an undiscovered treasure within the estate, which sparked numerous conflicts between nobles claiming rights to the fortress.
