The Haus Rüdinghausen was a fortified noble residence in the Witten district bearing its name, of which only the foundations remain, preserved as an archaeological site. First documented in the 13th century, this knightly seat belonged to a local family connected to the Counts of the Marck, before passing through inheritance and a series of feuds to other noble lines. The grounds are privately owned, which limits what can actually be seen on site.
