Sythen Castle

Castles and palaces have always been places where art is created. Kings, counts and even lesser lords of castles were patrons of the arts, especially in earlier times. All over Europe, true artistic treasures were created that have left their mark on history to this day.

On the occasion of the 750th anniversary of Burg Vischering, the district of Coesfeld is joining this tradition and has commissioned internationally renowned artists to deal artistically with the castle, its history and motifs. The result will be an exclusive and high-quality graphic edition, which will be presented for the first time in the course of the exhibition together with other works.

Just as the castle has been writing its history for a long time, the artists represented are also writing (art) history with their works.
