"The noble house Goldschmieding was renewed in the court of Castrop under Johann von Schell and Anna Margaretha von Overlacker at the end of the 16th century." Since the 17th century, only half of the mansion with a round corner tower has been preserved, to be completed in a mirror image In 1872, the Irishman William Thomas Mulvany (1806-1885), who had been involved in the development of coal deposits in the Ruhr region, acquired Haus Goldschmieding in 1857. He had founded the mining companies Erin and Hibernia in this room The Mulvany family, who regularly lived in the miners' quarters in Pempelfort near Dusseldorf, served as a summer residence in the English tradition, where they enjoyed a casual, natural life and often invited relatives and friends.Mulvany set up a landscape park and promoted equestrian and horseracing, in particular through the installation of a nature racetrack at Haus Goldschm His son Consul Thomas Mulvany made major alterations in 1895; The entrance staircase dates from this time. In 1905, the building was sold to Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks AG, which in 1950 left it to the "Society for Moral Armament" as a guest house for almost two decades in 1950. Goldschmieding came to the city of Castrop in 1968.

Today Haus Goldschmieding is home to an addition to an exclusive restaurant. A new building in place of the old bailey takes a hotel. The extensive park is freely accessible and equipped with numerous modern sculptures. By the way, another building, which was connected with Mulvany, is located on the site of the Hibernia colliery in Herne, today used by the administration of RAG Deutsche Steinkohle: a colliery house originally built around 1870 and later upgraded to an "English country house". It is now part of the casino. "Source: route-industriekultur.ruhr/themenrouten/20-unternehmervillen/haus-goldschmieding.html

The park is open to the public and ideal for a short walk.
