Haus Böckum is a former moated manor house in Duisburg, the only surviving example of this kind of fortified residence within the city. The eastern wing, with its exposed brick tower topped by a curved slate roof, dates from a 1661 rebuilding that replaced an earlier medieval structure on the site. The remaining ranges, used for farming, were added in the 18th and 19th centuries. The grounds are now fenced off and deteriorating, and cannot be visited.
