<< LEMBECK CASTLE >>
"The Lembeck moated castle is located in the “Hohe Mark” nature park. Its location in southern Münsterland makes the impressive castle one of the most popular excursion destinations in Münsterland. The rural surroundings invite you to cycle tours and hikes through the wooded area of the “Hohe Mark”.A moated castle of impressive size
The castle name “Lembeck” comes from Low German. It can be translated as “clay stream”, which indicates the former location of the castle in the middle of a swamp and moor area. In 1177, Adolf von Lembeck was the first knight of this name to be mentioned in a document as a ministerial of the Münster diocese. His family, the Lords of Lembeck, exercised jurisdiction over the castle and the administrative district of the same name. Dietrich Conrad Adolf von Westerhold-Hackfurt had the complex expanded and converted into one of the largest moated castles in the Münsterland between 1670 and 1692. After the renovation work, a baroque garden based on the French model with symmetrical path axes was laid out to the west of the palace based on designs by August Reinking."

You can't get to the grounds of the castle from behind. The sight is free of charge. You can see an open or half-open gate in the pictures. This is because a car had left the premises at that moment.
