Burg Ingenhoven, Medieval castle in Nettetal, Germany

Burg Ingenhoven is a castle in a park on Burgstraße 10 in the Lobberich district of Nettetal. Its three-storey manor house is built of brick with sandstone walls, topped by a hipped roof and four round corner turrets. The date 1544 in the courtyard marks the form it received in the 16th century.

Burg Ingenhoven was first recorded in 1403 in the Guelders feudal register as the seat of the Bocholt family, whose main residence was nearby Burg Bocholt. Its most prominent member was Reiner, prince-abbot of Corvey Abbey from 1555 to 1585. In 1748 inheritance divided the castle among the von Bentinck family and others; in 1820 it passed through Count von Mirbach to bourgeois owners and later to the Niedieck industrial family.
