A unique landscape park

Not only the city itself is inviting - its immediate surroundings are equally attractive. Münsterland, known as the "Mediterranean of the North", presents park landscapes and typical moated castles that make it a favorite destination.

In the Münsterland region, more than 100 castles, fortresses and palaces give clues of a glorious past. Visitors can explore and discover pearls like the romantic Schloss Darfeld (Darfeld Palace), the medieval Burg Vischering  (Vischering Castle) and Schloss Nordkirchen (Nordkirchen Palace) known as the "Westphalian Versailles".
