Kasteel Westrup

Westrup was a manor in the Drenthe town of Dwingeloo in the Dieverderdingspel. Westrup received the status of manatee in 1740. Cornelis van Dongen tot de Oldengaerde had bought the manor Westrup in Westdorp near Borger on March 18, 1740. He requested the Drenthe country day to shift the right of manor to the house he bought in Dwingeloo. After this was allowed, the name Westrup moved to Dwingeloo. From 1740 the house was known as Westrup or Westdorp.
