German Castles and Palaces

This collection highlights the architectural diversity of Münsterland’s iconic 'Wasserburgen' (water castles). The list features sites ranging from the 11th-century medieval foundations of Burg Hülshoff to the expansive Baroque estate of Wasserburg Anholt. These locations showcase specific Westphalian characteristics, including defensive moats, neoclassical manor houses like Haus Stapel, and preserved gatehouses that reflect centuries of regional noble history and cultural heritage.
