Horstmar

At the foothills of the Baumberge mountains, the town of Horstmar lies between wooded areas, fields and meadows in a valley hollow in the district of Steinfurt. It not only offers beautiful surroundings, but also opportunities for walks, bicycle rides and historical discovery tours.

Horstmar - the town of castle manors

Square and friendly: Horstmar is known as the "Town of Burgmannshöfe" and its square ground plan bears witness to an exciting history that is unique in the Münsterland region. Four of the original eight existing Burgmannshöfe - magnificent houses built during the Middle Ages by the new class of so-called "Burgmannen" - are still preserved today and tell of their protective function for the town at that time. On a tour of Horstmar, the Borchorster Hof, Merveldter Hof, Sendenhof and Münsterhof can be visited from the outside.

Horstmar's old town, which is well worth seeing, is beautifully situated in a valley hollow and also invites you to take a short walk. The historic town hall blends harmoniously into the townscape of Horstmar. The district of Leer with its mills is also an attractive destination.
