    The old village of Westerholt is considered one of the most beautiful closed settlements in North Rhine-Westphalia. The old "Reichsfreiheit Westerholt", which includes the castle, the village and the ramparts, exudes a special medieval charm. Westerholt, the "wood in the west" of Recklinghausen, was first mentioned in documents in the year 799.

      Herten is a diverse city in the Ruhr area, which has a lot to offer in addition to art and culture in the area of business. In the district of Westerholt you will find the "old village", which is also called the Westphalian Rotenburg. Westerholt Castle and well-preserved half-timbered houses form the historic town center of the district of the same name.
