Herten Castle is a moated castle on the western edge of downtown Herten. It is located in the midst of an old English landscape garden and was first documented in 1376. Since 1962, the main building of the palace complex is a listed building. The present buildings were built in the 16th and 17th centuries.

As part of the cultural capital RUHR.2010, the artist Nils-Udo created Burgenland, which consists of 15 green mounds between one, two and three meters high. Walkers can experience the ensemble along an axis between Herten Castle and the Hoheward Landscape Park. The axis connects the baroque palace with the industrial landscape in the south of the city.

The change in landscape due to industrialization can be seen on the green hills, since human intervention has also changed the previous natural landscape. Nils-Udo installed typical Corten steel mine buildings on eight of fifteen hills. The structures continue to decrease in the direction of the Emscherbruch, so that more and more empty hills can be seen towards the former mining site. The models of the mines, which have now become historic, represent the 130-year mining tradition of Hertens.
