Viersen Photoblog

The old Hof Aen gen Endt (or An gen End) was occupied by the Aen gen Endt (or Angenendt) family in the sixteenth century.

It is situated in a part of Viersen called Donk, which was, up until Napoleonic times, an allodial lordship.

The old Hof has changed owners and names a few times since the 16th century. It has also been named "Genneger" Hof and "Schlippes" Hof.

It has now been remodelled quite radically to give it a quasi-Italianate villa look. Some of the rear buildings retain a more traditional feel.
