Forgotten History
Schloss Oefte
Essen, Germany
Oefte Castle, also called House Oefte, on the southern bank of the Ruhr in Essen-Kettwig was a fief of the Imperial Abbey of Werden in the Middle Ages and was first mentioned in a document in the 9th century. The complex is thus one of the oldest manor houses in the region. The meaning of the name is approximately "forest house by the river". From 1424 to 1938, the tower ruin of Luttelnau Castle, known as the Kattenturm, also belonged to the Oefte property.
