Orangery in Herten Castle Park
Highlight • Historical Site
The roughly 170-meter gap between the castle and the orangery was adorned by a parterre richly decorated with plants and flowers - instead of today's daffodil meadow.
With a length of 35 meters, a width of 10 meters and a height of 8.50 meters, it is one of the largest orangeries in the region, adorned by a roof balustrade made of Baumberger sandstone with 12 almost life-size figures from Greek mythology. These figures were made by the famous Münster sculptor Johann Mauritz Gröninger - originally for the exhibition in the baroque garden.
The figures were saved and examined in the mid-1970s. It turned out that these were casts and no longer the original figures. They were packed in boxes by the LWL, brought to the European Monastery Museum Dalheim and stored there. "

Tabakhaus in Herten Castle Park
Highlight • Monument
By the way, the tobacco house got its "nickname" a long time ago: Fled from the French Revolution, the two Counts Riaucourt found shelter with their German relatives in Herten. Smoking was “en vogue” in France at the time, but - unfortunate for the refugees - frowned upon in Germany. Since they were not allowed to indulge in their truck in the castle, they retired to the small garden pavilion. Here they sat smoking in front of the fireplace and gave the tobacco house its name.
