Schellenberg Castle is a well-preserved castle in the Essen district of Rellinghausen. First mentioned in the 12th century under the name "Haus auf`m Berge", it has been the property of the von Vittinghoff family called Schell zu Schellenberg since 1452. It is one of the rare examples of a former, high-lying, two-part moated castle. The complex has been a listed building since 1984 and is a modern office location.
