Niedernhof, Architectural heritage villa at Niedernhof 1, Herdecke, Germany.
The neo-Gothic stone villa stands on the northern shore of Hengsteysee lake, featuring defensive architectural elements and a medieval-style tower.
Built in 1872 by entrepreneur Bernhard Wilhelm Funcke II, the villa provided a direct connection to his factory through an iron suspension bridge.
The building represents the industrial development period of the Ruhr region, showcasing the connection between residential architecture and manufacturing needs.
The villa currently serves as a venue for civil ceremonies and events, offering views across Hengsteysee lake and surrounding landscapes.
The original medieval noble estate bearing the Niedernhof name lies submerged beneath Hengsteysee since the 1920s dam construction.
