    A trip through the northern Ruhr area is a must-do for a visit to the Herten district of Westerholt. The Old Village of Westerholt, picturesquely clustered around the neoclassical castle of the same name, is truly special with its restored half-timbered houses. The entire settlement has been a listed monument since 1991 and is an outstanding example of a village and castle freedom preserved as a whole. The Old Village is considered one of the oldest and most beautiful enclosed settlements in North Rhine-Westphalia and is also called the "Westphalian Rothenburg."

    The 58 half-timbered houses, restored according to historical models and also individually listed as historic monuments, are densely clustered around the parish church of St. Martinus.

        It is worth admiring the old, historic buildings.
