Haus Dönhoff, Architectural heritage monument in Wengern, Germany.

Haus Dönhoff is a long timber-framed house built in the mid-19th century on the foundations of the former Dönhoff moated castle, of which no trace remains above ground. It stands at Amselweg in Wengern, close to the Elbsche mouth on the Ruhr, and has been listed as monument no. 75 since 1985. It is also called Haus Lind after its builder Heinrich Lind.

Haus Dönhoff was first mentioned in 1303 as the seat of Herbord de Dünehove. The Dönhoffs held it as a fief from 1420, and a branch of the family lived there until the 16th century. In 1722 a Freiherr von Romberg bought the estate. In 1841 mayor Heinrich Lind acquired it, demolished the dilapidated buildings and built the present timber-framed house on their foundations.

Locals still call the 19th-century building "Haus Lind" after Heinrich Lind, Wengern's mayor from 1841, who had the timber-framed house built on the foundations of the old noble seat. The name Haus Dönhoff survives on site even though the family had already sold the estate in 1722.

The house can be viewed from an adjacent cycling path that is part of the Ruhr Valley cycling route. This access allows visitors to observe the building's exterior while cycling through the area.

Two oil paintings by Erich Nikutowski in Wetter Town Hall show how the house once looked alongside the neighboring Haus Mallinckrodt. These artworks preserve an image of the historical estates before they took their present form.
