Haus Horr, Architectural heritage monument in Grevenbroich, Germany.

The two-story mansion features a mansard roof, five window axes on the courtyard side, and gray natural stone frames around windows and doors.

Baron von Francken commissioned the construction of Haus Horr in 1738 as a pleasure house, designed by architect Michel Leveilly as a simplified version of Falkenlust Castle.

The mansion connects through an avenue to a chapel dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk, representing the religious and architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Haus Horr serves as a notable stop along several cycling routes, including the 28.7-kilometer Chorbusch-Kloster Knechtsteden circuit starting from Neukirchen.

The original castle park contained exotic elements such as a gondola shelter, a bowling alley, a Tahitian hut, and a Chinese pagoda.
