Haus Mallinckrodt, Architectural heritage monument in Ende, Germany
Haus Mallinckrodt is a manor house on an eastern hillside of the Ruhr River valley in the Ende district, surrounded by forest and now used as a residential complex. The property comprises several buildings from different periods that together form a connected architectural ensemble.
The building was constructed as a fortified house in 1348 and was rebuilt multiple times after destruction during the Soester Fehde conflict in 1445 and a major fire in 1619. These reconstructions shaped the property as it appears today.
Artist Fritz Gärtner lived here in the early 1900s and created works that can still be seen in the local church. His presence on the property connected this rural estate to the artistic movements of the time.
The property is privately owned and contains multiple residential units, so visits to the inside are not possible. The best way to see it is from the public road or walking path that runs around the grounds.
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.
