Haus Wischlingen, Architectural heritage monument in Wischlingen, Dortmund, Germany.
Haus Wischlingen is a timber-framed chapel that survives as the last remaining building from the former Wischlingen manor estate. Inside, a wooden pulpit altar and family gravestones from different centuries are preserved.
The structure originated around 1400 as part of the manor grounds, but underwent substantial reconstruction in 1783 that created its current appearance. This later rebuild followed architectural conventions of the period.
The chapel reflects the religious shifts of the region through its connection to the Protestant Reformation. Visitors can observe how this transition shaped the building and left traces in the family monuments displayed inside.
The building is located within Revierpark Wischlingen, making it accessible as part of the park grounds. Visitors should check opening hours in advance since access to the interior requires visiting during scheduled times.
The chapel hosted the first Protestant service in Westphalia, an event of major religious significance for the region. This historical role makes it an important witness to religious transformation.
