On the trail of Münsterland's history
Romantic castles, imposing moated palaces, monasteries and stately homes - more than 100 such estates can be found in Münsterland. Some of them are private, but many are also open to the public. They are not only witnesses to great architecture, but also places of recreation and education. Here you can immerse yourself in the history of the region and learn more about the nobility of the time, great battles and famous historical personalities.
Many of the castles and palaces are located in the midst of beautiful parklands that invite you to take a walk, linger or even have a picnic. Make yourself comfortable on a lawn or bench and let the architecture take its effect on you. Or stroll around the building. Perhaps you will discover a sculpture or two, the remains of a castle wall or something else entirely?
A visit to these houses can also be perfectly combined with a bicycle tour. The so-called 100 Castles Route connects the most interesting buildings in the Münsterland region on four circular routes in a flat landscape.
