During my visit, a literary event was held there from Fri-Sun, so the area was closed to other visitors. Means, you should call before a visit, if the area is open to visitors !!

Hülshoff Castle is a typical Münsterland moated castle that was first mentioned in a document in the 11th century. Its name most likely derives from the noble ministerial family Hüls (Hulse) zu Kleve, the presumed builders of the castle, who descended from the Counts of Tecklenburg.
