Surenburg Castle

As the most important secular building in the Tecklenburg region, Surenburg Castle sits enthroned on its surrounding moats in green Hörstel.

At the foot of the Teutoburg Forest lies the graceful moated castle, which is believed to have been built around 1400. After only two changes of ownership, the castle passed to the noble Heereman von Zuydtwyck family in 1786, who still rule the house today. The estate with its grand staircase is characterised by many architectural extensions from 1600 onwards, which reflect the subtleties of the Renaissance, Classicism and Neo-Gothic periods.

In the surrounding English-style grounds, visitors can stroll through tree-lined avenues and well-tended woodland areas. The grounds of the Surenburg are home to the local riding club and host international tournaments and renowned equestrian events. The neighbouring park hotel with restaurant is an excellent place to spend the night and dine.
