Gemen Castle is located in the Münsterland parkland in the former swamp area of the Bocholter Aa. Although the name suggests otherwise, the complex is now a castle. Its former castle freedom gave the current Borken district of Gemen in North Rhine-Westphalia its name. The castle was created from the gradual conversion of a more than 900-year-old moated castle that was built by the noble lords of Gemen, one of the most influential Westphalian noble families of its time. It stands on two islands that are surrounded by an extensive moat system. The castle was the center of the Gemen dominion.
