Schloss Raesfeld

The history of the castle goes back to the 12th century. After von Velen took possession of the castle, it was expanded into a Renaissance-style castle from 1643. After the Second World War, the remains were restored.

Regardless, it's just a great destination and definitely worth a little detour from the route. The park of the castle invites you to linger and stroll.

Four paths lead through the Tiergarten of Schloss Raesfeld. The paths bypass picturesque lakes and forest areas. There is hardly a park that offers a more beautiful nature experience. With its plants and lakes, the park radiates a special charm in every season.

A walk through the adjacent zoo is always worthwhile. With a little luck you can watch the almost tame deer.
For children there is an adventure playground.

Beautiful moated castle in the barn is a small boutique with nice things to buy

From Raesfeld via Erle to Schermbeck, where it then goes along the canal to Dorsten City! Then you cycle further direction Holsterhausen on the Freudenberg to Rhade!

When the weather is nice you can sit outside.

Very nice park with adjoining animal enclosure. Always worth a visit.

The impressive moated castle from the 14th - 17th centuries with the outer bailey and main bailey is very well preserved. There is a lot to discover around Raesfeld Castle😲

Great moated castle in an idyllic location. There are endless photo opportunities here.

You do not always see animals, so be patient. Very nicely laid out and totally free, unlike uglier parks

Very large castle garden in private ownership, many quiet places to relax, the one or other Dammwild can almost always be seen

Suddenly there were 3 big deer 30 meters away in front of me. Great experience.

Water castle from the 14th century with a craft training center, restaurant, banquet hall and concerts.

A visit is already mandatory here.
