Hünxe - Schloss Gartrop 07 - a photo on Flickriver

            The castle Gartrop is a moated castle in the Hünxer district of Gartrop-Bühl. The castle arrangement lies near the country road between Hünxe and Schermbeck-Gahlen in the lip meadows in the southern area of the nature reserve high Mark-Westmünsterland. From the settlement of the former castle employee the today's place Gartrop developed.

The arrangement can be visited every second Thursday within the scope of events of the country inn resident there. 

The plastered mansion in the strict style of the Dutch baroque is surrounded on three sides by a pond-like moat. In the 2-storey construction structural fabric of the first castle house from the 14th century is still included. 

Four wings of the building surround a narrow inner courtyard which is roofed with a view dome. Besides, the eastern one and the western wing are shorter than remaining both and come out risalitartig of the construction body. The main entrance is in the biaxial east wing with a low watch tower which is concluded by an embowed bonnet with open lantern. Other three tracts of the simple construction own in each case a level hipped roof with small dormers.

7-stage steps lead to the main entrance from sandstone which is flanked by two half columns which run out on top in obelisks with ball handle. About the entrance the stone alliance coat of arms Albrecht Gisberts of Hüchtenbruck and his first Mrs. Johanna Katharina von Heiden as well as his second Mrs. Agne Maria von Bernsau is found. 

Moreover, the annual number 1675 tells of the end of the construction time under Albrecht Gisbert son Albert Georg von Hüchtenbruck.

The most important space of the mansion is a big baroque hall in the ground floor which is developed to the Beletage. He owns a luxuriously formed relief stucco cover which is together with an alike formed copy in the castle Anholt incredibly on the Lower Rhine. Moreover, he owns a colourfully calm Lambris with about that to hanging, painted wall strings and a rococo chimney of marble which is up to height of the cover wood.

Nevertheless, central centre is the former inner courtyard which was reshaped by a roofing to a 2-storey hall. She serves with her pilasters as a Vestibül and stairwell. From there all rooms of the mansion are accessible. Their creation partially occurred in Dutch, partly in the classicistic style.

Old wall strings – the so-called Gartroper chinoiseries – were discovered in progress by restoration works from 2005. Besides, it concerns nine coherent canvases of 3.5-metre height and 80-to 98-centimetre width. On silvery gleaming, green ground with flowers and tendrils paintings they show the plants which are populated by exotic birds and in Chinese inspired scenes with women and children. Findings point to the fact that the strings come from the big baroque hall, because they well fitted to the green wooden version at that time of the space. Later the wall disguising was transferred in a smaller cabinet which was converted in the course of the time into a kitchen, so that the canvases disappeared, besides, under a wallpaper from the early days. 

The Gartroper chinoiseries are especially valuable in her form and quality and incredibly in the space from the Lower Rhine. Merely in Potsdam teahouse  of Friedrich II. comparable is found. Models for the wall strings very much popular in the 18th century in the Chinese style are rococo paintings as for example from Antoine Watteau and François Boucher.
