Haus Füchten is a former noble residence that belongs to the municipality of Ense, which is geographically part of the Sauerland. The two-storey manor house with its farm buildings is located directly on the Ruhr Valley cycle path.

The castle that was located here at the time, possibly on the banks of the Ruhr (Füchten = damp), was first mentioned in 1298 as curtis de Vuchtene. Around 1700 the castle was demolished and the baroque manor house was built.

In 1834 the landowner Josef Caspar von Mellin acquired Haus Füchten. Mellin left his entire fortune to the private foundation for charitable purposes, which set up an agricultural school in the premises of Haus Füchten. After a few years the school had to be closed again in 1903 due to poor transport connections. The manor house then served as a rehabilitation center for drug-addicted young people. 25 years ago Manfred Green acquired the now almost dilapidated former noble residence and renovated the estate at his own expense in his free time. The main house has now been completely renovated.

Concerts and other cultural events take place in the large hall, which is richly decorated with figurative and ornamental stucco.

The castle chapel can be used for church services and weddings.

On the Sunday after Corpus Christi, the annual Füchten procession has been taking place from Ense-Bremen to Haus Füchte for around 150 years.
