To make a day of it
Haus Stockum stands in Werne (Kreis Unna), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
Haus Stockum refers to two separate former fortified sites that once stood on opposite banks of the Lippe river, one at Werne, the other on land now part of Hamm. Known respectively as Burg Stockum to the north and Burg Hugenpoth to the south, both have lost all standing structures and survive only as buried remains. Their history traces back to a royal estate granted in 858 to Herford Abbey, later administered by minor noble families, chiefly the von Hövel, who built fortifications there. Visitors should expect an archaeological location rather than a standing building, tied to a long history of manorial and judicial rights.
What to know
- No standing building remains at either site, only below-ground archaeological remains.
- The two locations lie on opposite banks of the Lippe river, one at Werne, the other on land belonging to Hamm.
- There are no opening hours, admission fees, or visitor facilities at these sites.
- The name should not be confused with other places called Haus Stockum in Schöppingen, Münster-Vennheide, or Willich.
