Haus Laer is a moated castle in the southeast of Bochum in the Schattbach valley at Höfestraße 45. It is one of the oldest aristocratic residences in the Ruhr area.

As early as 890, the "villa Lahari", probably a hamlet or Meierhof, was mentioned in the register of Werden Abbey. In 1243 the property was first mentioned as "domus Lare", when Count Adolf I von der Mark gave the manor to his henchman Heinrich von Vittinghoven as a fief. A castle house is mentioned in 1374. The knight's residence has belonged to the von Leithen family since 1480; In 1895 the Frielinghaus family inherited the property.

The main house with half-timbered walls rests on an oak pile foundation from the 10th century, which is dated around 940, making it the oldest surviving part of a secular building in Bochum. The house in its current form was built towards the end of the 15th century under Dietrich von Leithe. A part of the moat that used to enclose the entire main castle has been preserved. The outer bailey to the north dates essentially from the 18th century. The house houses an impressive collection of documents, the Ruhr area archive of Haus Laer. The complex includes a remarkable historic cemetery.

The moat of the House of Laer is fed by the heritage tunnel of the Isabella colliery, which runs under the area of the neighboring former Opel plant I. This tunnel and its subterranean tributaries may (as of 2013) be backfilled in the future as part of the upgrading of the factory premises for subsequent use.
