Haus Westhemmerde, Water castle in Unna, Germany

The Haus Westhemmerde features a main northern house built in the late 15th century, surrounded by additional wings and agricultural buildings.

The first documented mention of the estate dates back to 1217 when Gerhard von dem Broel appeared as a witness in a land sale document.

The building represents the architectural evolution of noble residences in Westphalia, combining defensive water castle elements with residential features.

Located at coordinates 51.5483°N and 7.78472°E, the estate includes 56 farms and cottages that were part of its largest recorded property extent.

The property passed to the Ruhr Valley Dam Association before being acquired by the Schulte family from Meschede-Enkhausen in 1955.
