Haus Crange, Medieval castle ruins in Herne, Germany.
The stone foundation walls of Haus Crange stand on an island within the Emscher lowlands, displaying elements of Gothic architecture in the basement vault.
Duke Adolf II of Cleves constructed this moated castle around 1440, which remained accessible only through a wooden drawbridge across the surrounding waters.
The original Laurentius Chapel near the castle contained a notable altar from the Soester School of Painting, now preserved at Ahausen Castle.
Visitors can explore the preserved ruins through a circular path with information boards detailing the structure's architectural and historical development over centuries.
The castle grounds connect to the location of Cranger Kirmes, a festival originating from a 16th-century horse market where wild horses from Emscherbruch were traded.
