Manor Schöller

Manor Schöller is an estate featuring a square keep with a rounded stair projection and sections of original limestone masonry in Wuppertal. The structure demonstrates the medieval construction methods and defensive design typical of noble residences from that period.

The estate first appeared in written records in 1182 through the Stift St. Gereon in Cologne. During the 13th century, it passed from the Abbey of Corvey to the Counts of Berg, marking a significant shift in regional authority.

The chapel on the ground floor is dedicated to St. Mary and reflects religious practices of the 18th century with its vaulted ceiling and wooden altar. It served as a place of prayer for the local community over the centuries.

The estate has parking available and sits along hiking trails that follow the Düssel River in the Neandertal region. This location makes it convenient to explore the wider landscape while visiting.

The keep is known locally as Schinderhannesturm and has this local name deeply connected to the area's history. The chapel inside remained in active use until 2017 and retains its consecrated status.
