    The converted monastery Varlar monastery is located in the peasantry Varlar in Rosendahler district Osterwick. The local community existed from about 1123/24 to secularization in 1803. Thereafter, the monastery became the property of the Wild- and Rheingrafen to Salm, who took over a large part of the extensive ecclesiastical property and for a short time became rulers.

      Varlar Castle can be seen from all sides, but not accessible as it is privately owned.

                The former monastery Valar Castle is a real gem that is hidden behind old trees and surrounded by moats behind the wrought-iron gates.

                  An imposing sight even when closed from the outside.

                    Super nice castle to look at from a distance. It is best to keep your distance, as the castle is inhabited, please do not disturb the residents.

                      The princely administration directs the agricultural and forestry business of the Prince of Salm-Horstmar, based in Varlar Castle.

                      Varlar, a former Premonstatensian monastery, is located in Rosendahl in western Munsterland and is occupied by the owner. Visits are only possible from the outside.

                        Varlar Castle is picturesquely surrounded by a moat on the edge of the forest. The entire facility is well worth seeing. Even if the actual island cannot be entered, you can see the castle on the outer green ring.
