Bike Touring Highlight
Former castle which saved the city from deterioration and was used as a children's home for several years.
It was later sold for the mandatory DM 1 and has been in private hands ever since.

Am always surprised how many small castles and palaces can be found here in the Ruhr area. So also this moated castle. Is idyllic in a small park / grove. In the farm building next door is the municipal museum.

The castle has been a knightly seat of the lords of Schwansbell since 1187. The castle in its current form was built between 1872 and 1875 according to plans by the Dortmund architect Fritz Weber for Wilhelm von Westerholt in the style of English Neo-Gothic with two octagonal towers.

Interesting architecture and various benches invite you to linger. The many trees make it pleasantly cool, especially in summer

A beautiful to look at Sleeping Beauty's castle.
There are doctors' offices here, but it's worth a quick look.
