¶ The oldest mention of Enghuizen dates from 1326, when one Evert van Enghusen was the owner of  't Goet te groten Engehusen'. Both the first and the second castle were destroyed, the last one during an allied bombardment in 1945 at the end of World War II. The orangery and hunting lodge have been preserved.
