Haus Hohenover stands in Hamm (Hamm), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Haus Hohenover is a former moated manor house, now a plain herrenhaus, standing beside the Ahse river in the Norddinker district of Hamm. The site's history reaches back to at least the 13th century, when it was counted among nine knightly estates recorded in the parish of Dinker. The present brick building, with its hipped roof, dates from the late 18th century and still bears the coat of arms of the zur Heiden family above its entrance. A fire in August 2022 caused severe damage to the structure, and its outbuildings, left in danger of collapse, had to be torn down.

What to know

The main building was severely damaged by a fire in August 2022 and a damage assessment is underway.
Outbuildings at risk of collapse have already been demolished, while the main house has only been temporarily secured.
The site is privately owned, held by the same family since 1872.
There is no indication that the interior or grounds are currently open to visitors.
