Haus Egelborg stands in Legden (Kreis Borken), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Haus Egelborg is a moated manor house standing apart from the village centre of Legden, in the Münsterland region. Its north wing, built in 1559 in the Dutch Renaissance style, forms the oldest surviving part of the complex, matched by a Baroque west wing rebuilt in the early 18th century. The outer bailey, remodelled in Neo-Gothic style in the 19th century, and the moats still surrounding the estate reflect the long evolution of a property that has remained in the hands of the same family since the 17th century.
