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

Haus Vorhelm is a moated castle built on a system of six islands surrounded by moats, at the northern edge of the Vorhelm district of Ahlen. The main two-storey residential wing rests on a solid stone base topped by a timber-framed upper floor dating from around 1455, extended southward about a century later. The south wing, added at the start of the 17th century, features a stepped gable and a two-storey oriel window. Around the main house stand an outer courtyard reached through a baroque gatehouse with drawbridge, two historic mills, an old sheepfold and two large baroque garden islands.
