Haus Amecke stands in Sundern (Hochsauerlandkreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Haus Amecke stands on the shore of the Sorpesee, in the Amecke district of Sundern. First recorded in 1338 as Castrum Adenbecke, this former fief gradually grew into a moated manor over the following decades, built from Kulm limestone quarried on the nearby Steinert and Langeloh hills. Split into two separate houses from 1419 onward, the estate was only reunited in 1923, when a staircase tower joined the two wings together. The property remains in the hands of the von Wrede family, who have held part of it without interruption since the fifteenth century.
