Weyerhof

Weyerhof is a farm in Holzweiler near Erkelenz, one of three field farms that define this area's agricultural character. The buildings date from the 19th century and show the typical layout of a working farm with a residence and barn structures.

The farm first appears in written records from 1550, making it the youngest of the three farms in this area. The current buildings were constructed in the 19th century, replacing earlier structures that once stood on the property.

This farm reflects the agricultural way of life that shaped the region for centuries. The buildings show how farming families lived and worked here, and remain a tangible example of that rural tradition.

The farm sits near Landstraße 19 and can be viewed from public roads without requiring special access. The flat terrain around it means visiting is easy and possible throughout the year.

While industrial development nearby forced the relocation of many buildings in the region, this farm remained in its original location. It stands as a rare survivor of the agricultural landscape that once covered this area.
