Rittergut Hammerstein stands in Wuppertal (Wuppertal), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Rittergut Hammerstein once stood in what is now the Vohwinkel district of Wuppertal, on the right bank of the Wupper river west of Sonnborn. First recorded in the 12th century, it was never a grand residence but rather a modest two storey manor farm, complete with a water mill. The original building no longer exists, and it remains unproven whether any trace survives within the nearby Villa Hammerstein, which likely borrowed the name only informally. As a result, there is no structure at this location for visitors to see today.
