== History == It was first mentioned in 1150 as de Dipenhem. The name probably means "settlement near low lying land". Diepenheim developed next to Huize Diepenheim. The original manor house was destroyed in 1177 by the Prince-Bishop of Münster who built a castle in its place. The castle was partially demolished after a 1536 siege. The current manor house dates from 1648, but has been extensively modified and altered.
