Gut Stockhausen, Manor house in Lübbecke, Germany.

Gut Stockhausen, also called Burg Stockhausen, is a moated castle on the southwestern edge of Lübbecke's Stockhausen district. A two-storey rubble-stone manor house with a square corner tower and half-hipped roof stands at the southeast corner; a small stair leads to its portal, above which a coat-of-arms stone gives the year 1699. A gatehouse of 1672, reached by a stone round-arched bridge, has a half-timbered upper storey in brick, a saddle roof, a roof turret and a weather vane, followed by a coachman's house and former stable, plus two barns and a dovecote.

The castle's origins are unknown but reach back at least to the 14th century, when it belonged to the Kyllfois family; in 1411 it passed to the knights von Westorp. Anna Margaretha von Westorp brought it by marriage to Dietrich von der Recke in the first quarter of the 17th century. The family held Stockhausen as a fideicommissum and bore the baronial title in Prussia from 1897; descendants sold the estate to Hans Werner Schürmann in 1979.

The name Stockhausen comes from the estate's location in the Stockhausen district on Lübbecke's southwestern edge. The von der Recke family, owners from the early 17th century, used a small cemetery at the north end of the chestnut avenue west of the complex as their hereditary burial ground, with about 20 graves, probably laid out in the late 18th century.

The estate is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. It lies at the southwestern edge of the Stockhausen district of Lübbecke, surrounded by a moat, with a stone arched bridge leading to the gatehouse. A chestnut avenue west of the complex ends at a small cemetery with about 20 graves.

The gatehouse dates from 1672, and a stone round-arch bridge leads to it. Its upper storey is timber-framed in brick beneath a saddle roof with a small roof turret and weather vane. The manor house portal carries a coat-of-arms stone marked 1699.
