Haus Leithe, Water castle in Neustadt district, Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
The complex consists of three buildings including a two-story rectangular main house, a gatehouse with an arched entrance, and a 400-square-meter barn.
Built around 1565, Haus Leithe served as the ancestral residence of the Knights of Leithe, who held the estate as a fiefdom of Deutz Abbey.
The gatehouse displays the coat of arms of the Isselstein family, marking the architectural and social evolution of noble residences in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Located at Junkerweg 30, the property remains vacant while an investor develops plans to transform the buildings into multiple residential units.
A local legend speaks of a secret underground passage connecting Haus Leithe to Haus Achternberg, located several kilometers away.
