Haus Altendorf stands in Fröndenberg/Ruhr (Kreis Unna), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
Haus Altendorf is a former moated manor house located in Fröndenberg/Ruhr, in the Kreis Unna. The main building, built up over several construction phases, still shows a barrel-vaulted cellar from the medieval fortified house, while its half-timbered upper floor dates from the 18th century. Around the lower courtyard stand horseshoe-shaped farm outbuildings. Ownership passed through several families over the centuries, from the von der Linden and Vittinghoff gen. Schele lines to the Ketteler, then the Mangelmann and von Mumm families, before the barons of Fürstenberg-Herdringen acquired the estate in 1807.
