Haus Boisdorf is a late medieval manor house south of Düren, lying between the districts of Rölsdorf and Lendersdorf near a protected riverside landscape along the Rur. First recorded in 1403 as a fief held under the Duke of Jülich, the estate passed through several noble families, including the Widdendorf and later the von der Horst lineage, before industrialist Leopold Hoesch acquired it in 1871. Since 1937 the property has belonged to the city of Düren, which sold it in 1993 to a private owner who converted the buildings into apartments. The main house, a two storey plastered brick building with a mansard roof, can mainly be viewed from the outside today, as it now serves as private housing.
