House in Wedde - Wedde
In national history, Huis te Wedde (built around 1360-1370) plays an important role. The house first served as accommodation for the Addinga family, who ruled over Westerwolde with a heavy hand. After this, it became the seat of the Baljuw and was then owned by a family of notaries. Huis te Wedde is best known nationally for the start of the Eighty Years' War, when in 1568 Count Lodewijk van Nassau, brother of William of Orange, set out from Wedde with his soldiers to fight the Spaniards at Heiligerlee.
Today, the castle is a children's hotel, where children can have a carefree time as knights or princesses. In the castle, there is also a museum that can be visited for a few euros.
