Haus Meyerich stands in Welver (Kreis Soest), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Haus Meyerich is a former moated stronghold on the western edge of the Meyerich hamlet, within the municipality of Welver. All that remains today is a double island enclosure surrounded by water, with no standing buildings, while the present farm sits just southwest of the old site.
