Schloss Harkotten

Headquarters of the Barons von Korff

Harkotten Castle is located in the Sassenberg district of Füchtorf in the Münsterland and is one of the rare examples of a double castle complex.
Since it is used for private purposes, it is usually not accessible to the public, but there is a garden café in the former farm buildings of Korff’s Castle and the manor house is available for public events, such as the garden festival.

The von Korff family is one of the oldest noble families in the Münsterland. But not only in Westphalia, also in the Baltic States and East Prussia there are several branches of the von Korff family.
It is worth taking a look for those interested:
