Haus Kickley, Castle residence in Nideggen, Germany.

Haus Kickley is a castle-like house in Rath, a district of Nideggen, with 608 m² of living space and a 33,000 m² park. Otto Hoesch of the Düren industrial family Hoesch had it built to plans by Paul Darius as a weekend residence.

Otto Hoesch of the Düren industrial family Hoesch had Haus Kickley built to plans by Paul Darius and used it as a weekend residence. After Hoesch's death in the mid-1960s the estate was offered for sale, and in the early 1970s Jean Löring, former footballer and president of SC Fortuna Köln, bought the castle-like house. Following Löring's insolvency it was auctioned in January 2003; the creditor bank BAG Bankaktiengesellschaft acquired it, and after restoration it passed to an entrepreneur from Nideggen.

The residence became known in the 1970s when Jean Löring, a former footballer and entrepreneur, purchased it and began hosting events there. The place carries the marks of this period in how its spaces are arranged and used.

Haus Kickley is a private residence owned by an entrepreneur from Nideggen and is not open to visitors; the house and its 33,000 m² park can only be seen from the public road. Do not enter the grounds or expect interior access.

At the January 2003 forced auction the Düren district court set the property's market value at 2.7 million euros, yet the creditor bank BAG Bankaktiengesellschaft from Hamm won it with a bid that also carried Löring's residential right, capitalised at 383,000 euros. In 2009 the bank was ready to allow a sale for a minimum bid of 995,000 euros.
