Haus Balken, Manor house in Marienbaum district, Xanten, Germany.
The three-story manor house features plastered yellow facades with regularly spaced windows and stands seven kilometers northwest of Xanten along the B57 road.
Built in the early 15th century for border security purposes, Haus Balken was damaged during the Eighty Years' War and subsequently reconstructed.
The property preserves elements of Gothic architecture and includes a late 18th-century chapel wing that reflects the architectural preferences of German nobility.
Protected as a monument since 1987, Haus Balken now serves as the residence of the Underberg family and can be accessed via the B57 road.
The name 'Hof ten Balke' refers to its location near two toll barriers, translating to 'Court at the Toll Beams'.
