1142 – Founding of the monastery and establishment of the Benedictine nuns.
1810 – Dissolution of the monastery as part of secularization.
The property becomes the property of Jérôme Bonaparte, King of Westphalia and brother of Napoleon.
The historic Prince's Chamber, decorated with original French wallpaper, has been preserved to this day.
Legends from that time tell of lavish celebrations at Gehrden Castle –
fine, exuberant, and unforgettable. Fun again tomorrow.

Among the illustrious guests of this house were Ferdinand von Fürstenberg and Annette von Droste-Hülshoff.

After the sale to Count Bocholtz zu Niesen, the northern part was demolished, and the remaining buildings were converted into a palace.
Traces of the past live on: the former cloister now houses the brasserie.

1826 – Acquisition by Baron von Sierstorpff, owner of the traditional Driburg spa.

A past with character. A present with style. A future to enjoy.
