Haus Ruhr

Haus Ruhr stands near the Wannebach river with architectural elements from the 17th and 19th centuries, featuring traditional water defense systems and surrounding moats.

The construction of Haus Ruhr began in 1455 when Jan von Boyle zu Wetter commissioned the building for his son-in-law from the noble family von Neheim.

The property houses the Ruhr Academy, an educational institution specializing in design, art, and media studies within its historical walls.

Located at coordinates 51.4206 latitude and 7.54667 longitude, visitors can access the castle grounds to view its architectural features and surrounding English landscape garden.

The castle courtyard contains a massive horse chestnut tree with a 17-meter circumference, recognized as one of the oldest specimens in North Rhine-Westphalia.
