Haus Mallinckrodt, Architectural heritage monument in Ende, Germany

Haus Mallinckrodt is a former knight's estate and manor house on the western slope of the Ardeygebirge, in forest above the Ruhr valley in the Ende district of Herdecke. Its present appearance dates from a 1903–1904 rebuilding in Flemish Gothic style, of which only the tower survives from the earlier structure. The grounds are privately owned and occupied by several tenants.

Around 1241 the fortified site was called Mesekenwerke, held as a fief of the Counts of Volmarstein and later of the Counts of Mark; its owners took the name von Mallinckrodt. Dietrich II von Moers burned the castle in 1446, and it burned out again in 1619. After the Mallinckrodt line died out, the estate passed to the von der Recke von Volmerstein family. In 1896 the Elberfeld banker Hans Jordan bought it and had it rebuilt in Flemish Gothic style in 1903–1904, keeping only the tower of the earlier building.

After Hans Jordan's death, his wife Cläre turned the house into an artists' colony. The painter and graphic artist Fritz Gärtner lived and worked here for several years and set up his studio in the garden house. In the 1920s the writer Mally Behler, music professor Maria Philippi, music teacher Ernst Boucke and, in 1930, pianist Martha Schmitz also resided at Schloss Mallinckrodt.

There is no direct public car access or parking at the estate; the track up to the entrance is open to walkers only. The Ruhrhöhenweg and Westfalenwanderweg long-distance trails pass a few hundred metres through the forest, but the branch path is not signposted. Visits to the grounds are possible only by prior arrangement.

During the renovations from 1903 to 1904, Flemish Gothic style elements were added while the original medieval defensive tower was deliberately preserved. This combination of different periods shows how the building honored its history during modernization.
