Summary edit

Description
Deutsch: Gegen 1075 wird ein Graf namens Gerlach als Besitzer der Burg Wickrath erstmalig urkundlich erwähnt. Schon fünf Jahre später geht die Burg in den Besitz derer von Hochstaden über , die bis 1335 Eigentümer der Burg bleiben. Von da an war die Familie von Broichhausen die Besitzer von Burg und Herrschaft Wickrath, bis dass sie 1486 von Erzherzog Maximilian I erobert wurde. Der belehnte Heinrich von Hopesch mit der Herrschaft. Dessen Erben bauten ab 1746 die Burg zu einem Schloss im niederländischen Barockstil um und legten eine große barocke Parkanlage an. 1839 wurde die gesamte Anlage rheinisches Landgestüt. Das Hauptgebäude des Schlosses wurde 1859 wegen Baufälligkeit eingerissen und an dessen Stelle ein Landstallmeisterhaus erbaut. Heute existiert in der ehemaligen Schlossanlage ein Pferdezentrum und der Sitz des Rheinischen Pferdestammbuches. Die gesamte Anlage steht seit 1985 unter Denkmalschutz.
English: Around 1075 a Count named Gerlach is the owner of the castle Wickrath first mentioned. Just five years later, the castle became the property owned by the noble family Hochstaden. This property remains to 1335. From then on, the family of Broichhausen was the owner of the castle and dominion Wickrath, until it was conquered in 1486 by Archduke Maximilian I. He had given the rule Wickerath as an fief to Heinrich von Hopesch. His heirs built from 1746, the castle into a palace in the Dutch baroque style, and constructed a large baroque park. In 1839 the entire plant was Rhenish State Stud. The main building of the castle was demolished in 1859 due to disrepair and in its place built a country squire house. Today in the former palace complex exists an equestrian center and the seat of Rhineland Stud Book. The entire system is under a preservation order since 1985. Herbert Pohl
