Haus Knipp, Medieval castle in Beeckerwerth, Duisburg, Germany
The three-story manor house stood at Haus-Knipp-Straße 2, featuring defense structures and a large garden extending toward the Rhine River.
First documented in 1292, Haus Knipp was initially built by the Stecke family on a sandbank near the submerged village of Halen.
The estate served as an administrative center for local authorities, managed by different noble families including von Diepenbruch and von Hanxleden.
The castle underwent reconstruction in 1620 at a new location after floods destroyed the original structure in the 16th century.
August Thyssen acquired the property in 1914, leading to its final demolition in 1939 for Rhine River flood prevention projects.
