Steinfurt Bagno
Steinfurt's Bagno was once a huge "amusement park" - but that was more than 200 years ago. Unique at the time, the 50-hectare Bango Park attracted visitors with numerous attractions and exotic buildings. But there is still plenty to experience in the park today.
Once the most important park in Westphalia
Until the beginning of the 19th century, the Bagno in Steinfurt was the most important park in Westphalia. Water features, unusual buildings, a large lake with boats and a court chapel known far beyond the borders of Münsterland defined the image of the park, which was redesigned time and again. Impressive buildings such as the Egyptian Tower, the Turkish Mosque and the Chinese Salon were part of the park's facilities.
The concert gallery as the crowning glory of the Bagno Park
Even today, the Bagno displays exceptional garden architecture: winding paths through sparse woods, densely overgrown banks or the overgrown island of ruins contrast with the clear forms of the avenues and squares. On a tour through the park, delightful and different perspectives open up again and again. 35 stations on current and long-gone sights are made accessible by a circular route. The crowning glory of the park is the historic concert gallery, which hosts top-class musical events.
