Once an old moated castle and first documented in 1311 as a fiefdom of the von Rhemen family at Barensfeld, in the same century it came into the possession of the Münster patrician house of Cleyhorst.
The castle was rebuilt in 1550 by the family Steveninck to Broich in the still existing form. Herr von Harde and his wife Katharina von Keppel then had 1719 Wilkinghege house rebuilt by Gottfried Laurens Pictorius in the late Renaissance style, of which even today the double coat of arms held by two lions over the entrance portal testifies. After many changes of ownership Wilkinghege was in 1779 again the property of the family of Rhemen to Barensfeld.
Many important personalities resided and were guests here in the course of the long past, including Prince-Bishop Franz von Waldeck, Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, Franz Freiherr von Fürstenberg, Napoleon's Marshal Kléber and the famous poet Annette von Droste zu Hülshoff.
After the extinction of the family from Rhemen to Barensfeld the castle with adjoining estate passed into the hands of the grandfather of the current owner Rembert Winnencken and was led to the conversion in 1955 as a manor. Then Wilkinghege was handed over to its present purpose as a hotel restaurant. During reconstruction after a fire in 1958, the old castle character was largely preserved.
In 1970, the former farm buildings were integrated into the hotel area. Twenty years later, the number of beds in this part of the house was reduced to create an offer for the highest standards by redesigning the rooms and suites.
The 18-hole golf course of the golf club Münster Wilkinghege is located directly behind the house and blends harmoniously into a largely flat, park-like terrain. In the design of the place value was placed on the characteristics of the Münsterland landscape such as hedgerows, lakes and streams.
Our golf highlights are available all year until 30.12. bookable from 8 persons.
