Hülshoff Castle is certainly one of the most popular excursion destinations in Münsterland. Picturesquely surrounded by expanses of water, the castle offers an imposing sight without appearing bulky. It's well worth taking a walk around the estate along the landscaped footpaths - and of course taking a look at the Droste Museum.

Ludgerus Cathedral Billerbeck

The provost church of St Ludgerus is known everywhere as Ludgerus Cathedral - although strictly speaking it is not a cathedral at all. But the imposing, almost 100-metre-high towers give it away at first glance. The cathedral is definitely one of the most impressive buildings in Münsterland. The interior of the church is just as magnificent.

The highest point in Münsterland not only offers wonderful views, but is also the perfect place to take a break. On the beautiful terrace of the 18|97 café in the Longinus Tower, you can enjoy the sun and scenery with tarte flambée or cake in fine weather.

Kolvenburg

The Kolvenburg in the resort town of Billerbeck is the cultural centre of the district of Coesfeld and rightly a popular tourist attraction. Since 1 July, renovation work has replaced the other day-to-day business of event planning, attic tours and exhibitions. Nevertheless, it is worth stopping by the castle to take a look from the outside.

The baroque Stiftskurien are among the most beautiful buildings in the historic town centre of Nottuln. Today, they house the town hall and large parts of the municipal administration. After a devastating fire in the town centre in 1748, none other than the famous baroque architect Johann Conrad Schlaun was commissioned to rebuild them.
