    You just have to look at the village center of Westerholt. Some of the old buildings are under monument protection. Just great!

        Westerholt was first mentioned in a document in 1047 in the "Urbare", a quality index of the Werden monastery. The lords of Westerholt are mentioned in documents as early as 1193. They are one of the most important noble families in Vest Recklinghausen. The imperial count family belonged to the so-called high nobility.

        Westerholt is an idyll in the Ruhr area, where time seems to have stood still a little, and is therefore a magnet for tourists and residents of the region.
