Haus Leythe, Medieval castle in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
The castle grounds feature permanent fields, rows of trees, and wet meadows integrated into an 18-hole golf course at present.
First documented in 1371, Haus Leythe served as a residence for Winmar de Leyten, who protected the electoral Cologne Vest Recklinghausen.
The Renaissance architecture of the water castle followed typical Münsterland design principles, with a barn built around 1600 in post construction.
