Haus Greiffenhorst, also called Greiffenhorstschlösschen and Schloss Greiffenhorst, is a former hunting lodge in Krefeld's Linn district in the immediate vicinity of Linn Castle. The neo-classical building from the 19th century is located in the Greiffenhorstpark, a landscape garden designed by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe.

"Between 1838 and 1843, Cornelius de Greiff, a benefactor in town history, built a garden and hunting lodge in the middle of his Linner possessions. The plans for this probably came from agricultural inspector Otto von Gloeden from Dusseldorf.
The building consists of an octagonal central structure on three levels, on which four four-winged square winged buildings lean crosswise.
The house Greiffenhorst was acquired in 1924 by the city of Krefeld. Although survived the 2nd World War without damage, it fell into disrepair in the following years to ruin.
After the first redevelopment measures in 1953, the city of Krefeld was finally able to reconstruct the building from 1971 to 1974 with the financial commitment of the Krefeld Kunstverein and the Bürgerschaft and re-use it in its present form.
Since then Haus Greiffenhorst has been open to the public for concerts, readings, lectures, art exhibitions, receptions and similar events. The capacity per floor is up to 100 persons in rows of chairs or 70 persons at tables. All events must be completed by 10 pm at the latest. "

From 1838 to 1843, the Krefeld silk manufacturer Cornelius der Greiff had a hunting lodge built here.
Today the octagonal building is used for events, concerts and exhibitions.
