Haus Ermelinghof

Haus Ermelinghof is a manor house with a long gatehouse distinguished by stepped gables and a Doric portico built in 1831. The property includes several historic buildings and received official protection as a heritage monument in 1985.

The estate was first recorded in 1350 and remained under the ownership of the Scheidingen family for generations. Its name evolved from the medieval Memerinchove to Memerinckhove during the 15th century.

The chapel at the site holds carved wooden figures of saints that date back several centuries and reflect the religious life of past inhabitants. These works remain visible reminders of the spiritual role this place held for those who lived here.

The site is located near Bockum-Hövel station at Geinegge 38 and is accessible by public transport. The grounds and buildings are easy to view from the outside, allowing visitors to appreciate the historical architecture without special arrangements.

A mill operation on the grounds was first mentioned around 1430 and made use of the Geinegge slope for power. This milling business remained active until the 20th century and gave the estate significant economic importance.
