Haus Horst, Manor estate in Essen, Germany
The Haus Horst estate features two round towers and a ring wall from the 17th-century outer bailey, known as the Turnierhof.
The noble family von Horst owned the estate from the 12th century until 1400, with Heinrich von Horst serving as bailiff for the Counts of Berg.
The estate now houses the Foto-Museum Burg Horst, displaying photographic artifacts including a camera obscura and cameras from 1839.
The surviving structure spans 150 by 150 meters and includes a Renaissance-style dairy building constructed around 1680.
A memorial stone called Mordstein marks the location where architect Conrad Fischer was killed by bandits on May 4, 1717.
