Netherlands · 13th century
Huis Wisch (also referred to as Huis Wisch) is a private castle situated at Terborg, in the municipality of Oude IJsselstreek (formerly the municipality of Wisch) in the Achterhoek region, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The first known mention of a "Castrum Wische" comes from a charter dating from 1285; according to some, that year refers to the new house of Wisch, according to others to the old house of Wisch. Since the 14th century, Huis Wisch has been the centre of the lordship of Wisch, one of the four banner lordships dependent on the county of Zutphen. Huis Wisch retained its seigneurial rights until 1813.
