Haus Langendreer, Medieval castle in Bochum, Germany.

The castle complex features a stone western building constructed from rubble stone, along with remaining sections of Renaissance-era ring walls and a corner tower.

First documented in 884 as a farmstead, Haus Langendreer transformed into a moated castle during the 14th century under the ownership of the Knights of Dreer.

The castle grounds now function as an educational center, hosting several special education schools managed by the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association since 1969.

The site maintains preserved architectural elements including the western building, sections of the original ring wall, and a prison tower from its historical structure.

In 1544, Dietrich von der Borch introduced Reformed faith to the castle, leading to its capture and destruction in 1599 by Colonel La Berlotte's forces.
