House Marck
At the foot of Tecklenburg, one of the most beautiful half-timbered towns in the Münsterland, lies the moated castle Haus Marck. Idyllically nestled in a valley meadow and surrounded by its moat, the manor house is considered an insider tip worth seeing by explorers of the Tecklenburg region.
Let yourself be inspired
The Knights of Horne acquired the property in 1368 to build a castle. As early as 1490, however, a new Haus Marck was built, which in the following centuries underwent a few changes of ownership and two major phases of reconstruction, one of them in 1562 in the Renaissance style. The house received its present appearance as a four-winged, single-storey complex in the Baroque style in 1754 after a collapse of the former complex. Since 1803, the estate has been owned by the von Diepenbroick-Grüter family, which has preserved the estate including the surrounding nature.
Münsterland in detail | Haus Marck
Far-reaching decisions were made within the walls: in 1643, preliminary negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia took place at Haus Marck, which ended the Thirty Years' War in 1648. In 1831, the estate was also the birthplace of Friedrich von Bodelschwingh, the founder of the Bodelschwingh Institutions named after him.
Hörrreise | House Marck
Haus Marck is now privately owned and can also be experienced from the inside on special occasions. Take an "acoustic look" inside the monument with the lady of the house, Ricarda Freifrau von Diepenbroick-Grüter, and find out what it means to live in a Münsterland moated castle.

During the Second World War, the citizens of the town urgently needed a protective bunker. On their own initiative, the people of Tecklenburg began to build an air raid shelter. Then in July 1944, after a breach in the wall, a dome structure was revealed - the Bastion. This news spread like wildfire in Tecklenburg; about 1000 Tecklenburgers reliably found shelter at that time! Today, the castle bastion can be visited in the summer months - in the other months, bats find protected winter quarters there.
