1. Fresenburg Marker
Fresenburg is gebouwd vóór 1250 door de familie De Vrese. Het is een zogenaamd stadskasteel met een oppervlak van 11 x 30 m. Om het verdwenen dak liep een weergang met kantelen op de zijmuren. De voorgevel met twee zijtorentjes bestond uit groenzwarte en oranjebruin geglazuurde bakstenen. De vensters hadden middenzuiltjes met versierde kapitelen. De tegenwoordige gevel stamt uit 1858.
