Tinne Manor (Alme)
Haus Tinne is a manor house in the Alme district of Brilon. It was built in 1717.
Previously, Oberalme Castle stood on this site, first mentioned in documents in 1176. Its owner was Henry the Lion. In 1254, it was destroyed by Paderborn Bishop Simon I.
Haus Tinne was a meeting place for nobles who had to flee France during the French Revolution. The name of the "French Staircase" from the house to the Mühletal valley commemorates them.
In the possession of the Counts of Spee since 1912.

The house is a single-story, seven-axis building on a high basement. A three-axis central risalit with a triangular gable as a roof structure extends through the main cornice. A portal with pilasters and cranked ogee gable and cornice pieces is embedded in the central axis. Below it is a double coat of arms of the Gaugreben-Meschede family and a cartouche with the inscription: M:M:fra von Gaugreben born von Meschede had this house built in Ao 1717. The architectural elements are made of limestone; otherwise, rubble masonry was plastered. The tiled roof was renewed in the 20th century. A large flight of steps with a balustrade made of Rüthen sandstone leads to the portal. Below it is the cellar entrance. The house is equipped with a continuous plinth cornice.
