Hagen

Hagen is a rectangular manor house built of brick in Doetinchem, featuring gabled roofs and stair gables that define its appearance. The tall windows on the front have cross-mullioned frames that give the building a stately look and reveal its importance as a residence.

The manor was built in the 16th century as a residence for a wealthy family. It was substantially rebuilt in 1656 and restored again after a fire in 1934.

The name Hagen refers to an enclosed space or estate, reflecting how this place once functioned as a private landed property. You can see the carefully arranged rooms today, which show how wealthy families in this region lived and shaped their homes.

The building is located at Kelderlaan 11 and now operates as a museum focused on local cultural heritage. Visitors should expect narrow, historic rooms that are typical of manor houses from this period.

The basement features distinctive ribbed vaults supported by pillars, a rare architectural solution for a manor of this type. One of the main rooms still displays a late Gothic fireplace made of Baumberger stone that dates back to the building's original period.
