Haus Wohnung is a moated castle in Voerde, in the Kreis Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia. Built in the early 14th century as a fortified residence, it was expanded in the 17th century by the van Doornick family into a baroque schloss with onion-domed towers and a pleasure garden. The estate today combines a brick manor house with a watermill that remains in operation, set within a park crossed by the remnants of the old moat.

The property was long owned by industrial companies (Thyssen, then Steag) before becoming privately held, which limits access to the interior.
