Fürstenau Castle

Today you don't see much of it anymore, but the castle complex stands in the middle of an old moor area. Sand was piled up in a fen, moats were built on the outside and everything was supported with walls. That is why Fürstenau Castle looks like a moated castle today.

Today part of the palace houses the administration of the joint municipality of Fürstenau. You can still visit the site and, above all, look at the great park.

Fürstenau Castle in Fürstenau is a former state castle of the Prince-Bishopric of Osnabrück, which was founded in the 14th century and in the 16th/17th Century served as the residence of the prince bishop. It is used as the administrative headquarters of the city and joint municipality of Fürstenau. In the south wing is the parish church of St. Catherine of the Catholic parish of Fürstenau, which belongs to the Osnabrück-North deanery of the Osnabrück diocese.
