Haus Geist, Heritage château in Ahmenhorst, Oelde, Germany.

The Haus Geist stands as a water castle featuring both Lippe Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements, complete with a surrounding moat and outbuildings.

Between 1560 and 1568, master builder Laurenz von Brachum and his sons constructed a new building at Haus Geist in the Lippe Renaissance style.

The property changed ownership through noble families including von Oer, von Nesselrode, and von Loë before becoming a Jesuit residence in the 17th century.

The château is located at coordinates 51°50'10.68"N and 8°06'04.54"E, within the administrative district of Warendorf in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The surrounding Geisterholz woods served as a diplomatic hunting ground for German Presidents during the early Federal Republic period.
