Waliën

Winterswijk Huppel, Netherlands, Netherlands

---

't Waliën, a historic manor estate (havezate) in Winterswijk-Huppel, Netherlands, traces its origins to at least 1340 with the Van Walyen family, who held lands like Keylwinck and Bennekinck there.

Acquired by the noble Van Munster family in 1501, it featured deep cellars, sturdy walls, and a grand mantelpiece suggesting an early fortified residence, though it officially appears as "huys Walyen" in 1570 records.

Likely damaged during the Eighty Years' War, it changed hands multiple times—sold to Henrick van Eck in 1607, then to Van Heeckeren in 1726—before a 1759 fire and 1805 rebuild into a white-plastered rectangular farmhouse by merchant Hermen Jan Tenkink amid declining fortunes. 

Destroyed by fire again in 1908, the estate fragmented into parcels, passing through families like Hijink and Ledeboer, with ruins including a chimney frieze now on farmland.
