Overview<\/h2>\n\n

The Vosheurne farm in Lintelo has been associated with the Wissink family for more than two centuries. The name refers to a heurne<\/em>, meaning a corner or outlying place, where foxes were found. According to local tradition, a small moated castle may once have stood here, although no evidence for this has been found. What is certain is that the holding appears in sources as early as the 16th century and remained church property for a long period before passing to the Wissink family in 1848.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

As early as 1618, a man recorded as \u201cRoeloff in die Vosshoerne\u201d leased a farm from the church. In the same year, \u201cDerck in die Vosshoerne\u201d rented the holding known as Vosshoernes Kuiper. There were therefore two farms at that time referring to the Vosheurne holding; their residents took their name from the farm where they lived.<\/p>\n\n

The Wissink family at Vosheurne<\/h2>\n\n

In 1997, Henk Harmsen wrote an article about Vosheurne for the Gelders Dagblad<\/em> series Wortels in de Achterhoek<\/em>. He noted that the farm had then been occupied by the Wissink family for more than two centuries.<\/p>\n\n

After the previous resident, Harmen Brunsink, had been executed for the murder of ‘moeje’ Tannemaat<\/strong><\/a>, Reint Wissink, from the holding of that name in Sinderen, became tenant of Vosheurne in 1770. The church, from which Reint leased the farm, required him to build a new house. He did so nine years later.<\/p>\n\n

The present farmhouse bears the year 1779 on its renewed front elevation. The farm remained church property until 1848, when the Wissink family purchased the holding for six hundred guilders.<\/p>\n\n

In 1997, Hendrik and Dine Wissink lived at Vosheurne; in the week the newspaper article appeared, they had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Hendrik was known as a magnetic healer, and the family had rented out holiday cottages for many years. By then, the dairy farm was being run by their son Jan and his wife.<\/p>\n\n

In 1997, the old part of the house still contained a hooded fireplace built of woven wattle coated with clay, above a hearth decorated with attractive tiles. The house was also said to have had a vaulted cellar in the past.<\/p>\n\n

Small castle and excavations<\/h2>\n\n

According to the newspaper article, a small castle may once have stood on the site of Vosheurne. The present farmhouse was said to occupy the site of the former coach house. There is, however, no evidence to confirm this.<\/p>\n\n

Heavy foundations were reportedly found in the ground on the west side of the farmhouse.Hendrik’s grandfather<\/a> dug up many fragments of masonry there and crushed them for use as roadstone. He believed the stones came from the ballroom of the supposed small castle.<\/p>\n\n

Vosheurne was also said to have had a moat. During the Second World War, people in hiding used the dry moat to escape unseen during a German raid. It was not deep but was about twelve metres wide. During theland consolidation<\/a> of 1969, it was filled in and replaced by an ordinary drainage ditch.<\/p>\n\n

A stoneware vase from the Cologne region was excavated on the property, decorated with a rising sun and the initials G.R. Brass candlesticks were also unearthed and were still in good condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
