Haus Tervoort, Manor estate in Essen, Germany.

Haus Tervoort is a former knight's estate in Rheinkamp, a district of Moers, first documented in 1443. Its main building was hit by a bomb in World War II and burned in 2004; today only three outbuildings are in use, with ruins otherwise remaining. The site lies on Tervoorter Waldweg 61, off Repelener Straße.

Haus Tervoort is a former knight's estate first documented in 1443, though the farmstead is thought to date from the 12th century. It was a "gemein cölnisch Lehen", a male-only fief, repeatedly granted to the acting drost of the County of Moers. Around 1702 Borchard Wilhelm von Kinsky, drost from 1677, had the buildings enlarged and the main house rebuilt in palace style; on 14 September 1718 the Moers Landtag met in that main building.

The name ter Voorth means "at the ford", referring to a crossing on the Moersbach stream that was important for traffic from Moers northwards. From 1856 the Bethanien foundation ran a sick station in some rooms of the estate with support from the Liebrecht family. The estate remains in the hands of the Liebrecht family; its current owner is Countess Marie del Carmen von Liebrecht.

The ruins lie at Tervoorter Waldweg 61, a side road off the Repelener Straße (L399) in the southwest of Utfort, near the borders of Moers-Mitte and Hülsdonk. Only three outbuildings are still in use; the rest of the former estate is ruinous, so expect uneven ground and no visitor facilities.

The name ter Voorth means "at the ford", a crossing on the route from Moers northwards where the Moersbach still carried far more water in the Middle Ages. The stream then flowed into an old bed of the Rhine.
