Former manor house in Münsterland. The Christmas market, Visbecker Lichter, is absolutely worth seeing, nice little stalls, lots of play opportunities for children and delicious food.

The house was first mentioned in 1186 as Villa Visbeck as a fief of Werden Monastery. Since 1338, the Lords of Visbeck owned the complex, which was now used as a manor - a fortified building on two islands. In 1540, the Visbeck family died out and the buildings found new owners, most recently the Droste zu Vischering family, who owned it until the 20th century. Today, Haus Visbeck is privately owned. On March 14, 2023, a fire destroyed parts of the manor buildings.

THE CHAPEL AS THE FINAL TESTIMONY The moated castle, which was first mentioned in a document in 1338, was named after the men of honor of Visbeck, who had the proud property built on two islands. After a fire in the 17th century, only part of the outer bailey and the Lady Chapel remain of the once spacious fortifications. The latter, in its original form, was an octagonal wooden chapel from the 16th century. Today's brick chapel was most likely built around 1749 according to the plans of the famous Baroque architect Johann Conrad Schlaun.

A beautiful place on the edge of the forest. From there you can easily start a bike ride or hike.

There are now nice seating options for cyclists and hikers right next to the quietly located chapel. Recommended! On Sunday afternoons, coffee and cake are sold from a “stall”.

Every year the Land Partie takes place on the grounds of Lembeck Castle. At five, the castle immerses itself in a world of garden, living and fashion. The castle complex does not open again until Easter. Admission €4.50 for adults. Children from 3 years €3.

In the "city of moated castles" Lüdinghausen, it is considered to be the oldest: Lüdinghausen Castle. Surrounded by a beautiful park, which used to form the fortification system of the castle, it is located in the heart of the city, right next to the town hall, and is now referred to as the "castle of the citizens", especially by the people of Lüdinghausen.

The main entrance is on Wulfener Straße. An imposing building that is privately owned. The entrance fees allow it to be maintained and kept in good condition.
