Haus Hameren stands in Billerbeck (Kreis Coesfeld), 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 Hameren stands in Billerbeck, in the Münsterland region, and is notable for having been built on two separate moated islands, a layout still traceable in the course of the surrounding water today. Founded shortly after 1325 as a fortified manor on the water, it was split between two branches of the family following an inheritance division in 1543, before being reunited in 1755. Visitors can see a storage tower from 1593, a neo-Gothic chapel, and a two-winged manor house dating from 1549, remodeled in the 18th century, alongside a round tower built around 1600. The estate remains in the hands of the von Twickel family, who inherited it in the 19th century.
