Nederland - Winterswijk, Het Hemmink

The farmhouse Het Hemmink is mentioned as early as 1331.

In the mid-19th century, the Esselink family lived at Het Hemmink, a larger farmhouse that took its current form in 1903. Due to an inheritance issue, the farm fell into disrepair. In the 1950s, the owner along with his wife died in a car accident.

The heirs could not agree on inheritance rights for a long time. In the end, Het Hemmink went to a relative in Hilversum, who did not care for his possession. In the 1980s, the farm was occupied by squatters and decayed completely. During 1995-96, most of the ruin was dismantled, leaving only a few remnants of walls standing today.
