Top 20 Castles around Nottuln

The gate as a highlight? 👎 More likely the park and the castle, where the renovation work is progressing well. The crooked Mannenhaus and parts of the castle are already shining in new splendor here. Incidentally, this is where the most crooked part of the castle in Münsterland stands. The Mannenhaus (the building on the right) was built in 1719 as part of the baroque redesign of the castle. For this purpose, the subsoil of the castle island was refilled at this point - but over time it sank and the house slowly and gradually began to lean towards the moat. The foundation was stabilized in 2018 using a special process and the building was extensively renovated. Today it is a real eye-catcher.

Sending Castle is one of the numerous moated castles in Münsterland. It is situated on the River Stever, which feeds the castle's moat. The Dortmund-Ems canal is located about 250 meters south of the palace complex.

Sending Castle is on the SteverLandRoute and is one of four castles and palaces surrounded by Steverwasser on the second stage from Sending to Lüdinghausen. With its three-part gable, it is one of the oldest surviving monuments of this type in the region. The castle has always been of great importance to the people in the area, as it was the seat of the court for this part of the Stever region in the 14th century. The hotel, which was last housed in the castle, was closed after a fire in the roof structure in the 1980s and the building stood empty for a long time. This vacancy damaged the old masonry more than the Spanish fires and looting during the world wars, so that in 2014 the building was actually about to be demolished. In 2015, at the very last minute, so to speak, a development association acquired the property. Thanks in part to the efforts of the voluntary helpers from the Westphalia Youth Building Works, much has already been restored to this day, so that the castle can once again be used as an event location. In July 2018, the castle was honored as Monument of the Month in Westphalia Lippe by the LWL Monument Preservation Service due to this extraordinary commitment by citizens :) You can find out more about the palaces and castles on the SteverLandRoute at www.steverlandroute.de You can find more tips on the stages and detours in our collection, take a look! :)

Varlar Abbey, often referred to as a monastery, was a Premonstratensian monastery founded by the Counts of Cappenberg in Münsterland. The monastery, which was converted into Varlar Castle, is part of the Varlar farming community in the Rosendahler district of Osterwick. The community there existed from about 1123/24 until secularization in 1803. After that, the monastery became the property of the Wildgrafen and Rheingrafen zu Salm, who took over a large part of the extensive church property and also became sovereign for a short time.quelle.wikipedia

Hülshoff Castle is a typical Münsterland moated castle that was first mentioned in a document in the 11th century. Its name most likely derives from the noble ministerial family Hüls (Hulse) zu Kleve, the presumed builders of the castle, who descended from the Counts of Tecklenburg.

Haus Vögeding Idyllic and often unexpected and surprising for walkers and cyclists, the moated castle Haus Vögeding is located in front of the green gates of Münster. The hidden location in the midst of untouched nature makes the mighty castle complex a secret jewel and offers picturesque views over the moats to the private property.

Although only an outside tour is possible, the meadow in front of the moat at the tower room invites you to spread out your picnic blanket. And for those who don't have a blanket with them: there is also a bench. So just come, stop, rest and look.

The renovated facility is worth seeing
