Haus Hemer, Manor house in Hemer, Germany.
Haus Hemer is a rectangular two-story manor house in North Rhine-Westphalia topped with a square corner tower crowned by a Welsh dome. The building stands on the grounds of a former water castle and is surrounded by structures that recall the historical moat system.
The original estate arose around 1072 as a supply property for Grafschaft Abbey. The current building was constructed mainly in the 17th century when the site was transformed into a fortified water castle.
The manor sits in the town and carries the name of the place where it stands. People visit for special events and community gatherings that bring neighbors together.
The manor house is available today for various events and community gatherings. It is worth checking in advance what public tours or visiting opportunities are offered.
The property preserves the layout and structures of a medieval water castle with its moats, even though the visible building dates from a later period. This layering of old defensive elements with later architecture makes the place a rare example of how defensive structures were transformed.
