Haus Esselt

Haus Esselt features a rectangular baroque manor house with a hipped roof covered in tiles and symmetrically arranged windows with shutters on the ground floor.

First documented in 1330, the estate belonged to Henrick Snackard and later passed to Johann von der Capellen, who was a vassal of the Duchess of Kleve.

Since 1968, the former barn houses the Otto Pankok Museum, storing 8,000 artworks including more than 5,000 charcoal drawings by the German artist.

The museum presents changing exhibitions every six months, while group tours of the manor house can be arranged through advance reservation.

From 1958 until his death in 1966, the property served as a retreat for painter and graphic artist Otto Pankok, leading to its current role as an art museum.
