There's actually not much left to see of the castle, but the area is certainly beautiful. I recommend the little detour.

Adolphsburg Castle was built between 1673 and 1681 as a baroque moated castle for Johann Adolph von Fürstenberg. The builder held numerous Catholic religious offices, including provost in Paderborn and canon in Münster. He also served in the diplomatic service. Later, the castle was only occasionally used as a residence and hunting lodge. From 1919, schools were housed here. After 1956, the castle stood empty for decades and fell into disrepair. In 1984, extensive restoration work began and it was converted into a condominium complex.

Gevelinghausen Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1299. Baron von Wendt-Papenhausen acquired the castle in 1796. The poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff stayed as a guest in the castle in 1824 and 1831. In 1985 the property was sold by the von Wendt family for economic reasons. from: http://www.schloss-gevelinghausen.de/wellness/index.html

Laer Castle is a moated castle in the Laer district of Meschede. The property was first mentioned in the 13th century. At this point there was a medieval low castle, which was converted into a castle after it became the property of the von Westphalen family in the 17th century.

There is the following explanation for the distinctive window shutters: "In this context, the house colors should also be pointed out, which still adorn the shutters on the buildings of the former manor complex today. They go back to the von Wendt-Papenhausen family, whose coat of arms had a golden background, which is often replaced by yellow in heraldry. The three balaclavas or balaclavas in the coat of arms are blue.” from: https://gevelinghausen.de/das-wappen/
