    Today's Westerholt is characterized in its historic town center by Westerholt Castle with the adjoining former "Freiheit Westerholt", consisting of around 60 well-preserved half-timbered houses ("Old Village"). In addition, the townscape is largely determined by the arrival of mining in 1907.
    Always worth a trip. The narrow streets with very old half-timbered houses give the impression of being in a labyrinth.

      So many well-restored half-timbered houses are rarely seen in the Ruhr area. Definitely a nice destination.

          The old village of Westerholt, so many well-restored half-timbered houses are rarely seen in the Ruhr area, which is why the village of Westerholt is also called the "Westphalian Rothenburg".

            Because you wouldn't expect to find such a dreamy, old and well-kept area of Westerholt's old town here.
