The Erbdrostenhof for the Castles Day

The Erbdrostenhof is one of Münster's most important architectural monuments. The main and showpiece of the Erbdrostenhof is the banqueting hall that extends through the entire central building. The Erbdrostenhof was built as a city palace by the Baroque architect Johann Conrad Schlaun between 1753 and 1757 by order of the hereditary Duke Adolph Heidenreich Baron Droste zu Vischering. After being destroyed in the Second World War, the building was reconstructed.

Guided tours and balloon artists

10 am to 4.30 pm

Customised guided tours are offered that provide exciting insights and background stories. Of course, you also have the opportunity to explore the impressive interiors of the Erbdrostenhof at your own pace and without a guided tour, allowing the special atmosphere to take effect on you. For younger guests, a balloon artist will also make their eyes light up: with great skill and creativity, he will model imaginative figures free of charge, which can be taken home as a colourful souvenir.

  • Start: 10 a.m.
  • End: 16.30 hrs
  • Price: free of charge
  • No registration required
  • Meeting point: forecourt or foyer of the Erbdrostenhof
  • Note: The ballroom can only be reached via a staircase and is therefore not barrier-free. The balloon artist will model the balloons in the courtyard or in the ground-floor foyer and is therefore barrier-free.
