Sandfort Castle, often also called Sandfort House, is a moated castle in Olfen (Vinnum farming community) in Münsterland.
The castle was probably built around 1450. The building's two round towers date from this period. The upper castle was structurally modified several times and dates from the end of the 16th and the beginning of the 17th century. The mighty tower has been renovated; its spire dates back to the Baroque period.
The two farm buildings to the left and right of the gate entrance were built in 1851 and 1857 in the classicist style.
