    Gräftenhöfe are a specialty of the Kernmünsterland. At the beginning of the 19th century there were still around 800 rural farmsteads in Westphalia. Many were in Kernmünsterland. Only wealthy farmers, especially the mayors in Münsterland, could afford such an elaborate farm complex. The advantage of these farms was, among other things, protection against robbery.

      Gut Althaus, a former manor, was once surrounded by a double barracks. It is owned by the Prince of Bentheim and Steinfurt

      Gräftenhöfe are worth preserving not only for cultural and historical reasons. The surrounding moat is also a valuable habitat
