    This highlight is on the way back to the 2nd and 3rd stage of the SteverLandRoute. The path through the newly created urban landscape is beautiful and offers even more unusual perspectives. Have a look at our collection :)

      History

      The Knights of Lüdinghausen, documented since the 12th century, were granted the castle by Werden Abbey near Essen. At the same time, they were ministerials to the Bishop of Münster. Striving for independence, which culminated in the unauthorized elevation of Lüdinghausen to town status, and the construction of Wolfsberg Castle led to the campaign of the Münster Bishop Gerhard von der Mark against Lüdinghausen in 1271. A tower was mentioned in historical records. After the defeat of the Lords of Lüdinghausen, Lüdinghausen Castle, unlike Wolfsberg Castle, was allowed to remain, but was declared the Bishop's official residence. In 1334, a gatehouse, an old and a new stone house, each with a kitchen, and a keep were recorded. The castle remained in the possession of the Lords of Lüdinghausen until the line died out in 1443, when it then passed to the Bishop of Münster.

        The back of the castle is also worth seeing.
