ミンデン＝リュベッケ郡プロイシッシュ・オルデンドルフのラショルスト地区にある美しい水城。15世紀。残念ながら見学はできません。

A very well-maintained, privately owned palace complex. Hüffe Palace in Lashorst (built from 1775 to 1784) is the only building in the late Baroque Neoclassical style for miles around. Further information: https://www.baukunst-nrw.de/objekte/Schloss-Hueffe--1282.htm

Beautiful, very well preserved castle with agricultural estate next door.

The first mention of a family “von Huffe” comes from a document from 1229. However, the connection to the corresponding farm in Hüffe is uncertain. The Hüffe manor was first mentioned in 1439.

In front of the actual castle there are farm buildings and also a smaller, very beautifully designed residential building. Maybe from the manager?!

It is believed that Hollwinkel Castle was founded at the end of the 13th century by a Holle family who were expelled from the Hildesheim region. Bishop Otto I of Minden is said to have granted the future castle as a fiefdom.

The Stockhausen estate, also known as Stockhausen Castle or Stockhausen House, is a moated castle on the southwestern edge of the Lübbecke town of Stockhausen. Its beginnings are not exactly known, but go back at least to the 14th century. Since the facility is privately owned, it can only be viewed from the outside. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_Stockhausen_(L%C3%BCbbecke)

Limberg Castle looks back on a long and eventful history. It was probably founded in Widukind's time and was owned by the Bishop of Minden 1000 years ago. Limberg Castle has only been officially documented since 1319 and was owned by the Counts of Ravensberg and was one of the four border castles in the Ravensberg region, of which the Sparrenburg in Bielefeld is probably the most famous. The count's house died out in 1346, but the county of Ravensberg remained for a long time under the heirs of the House of Jülich-Berg. The castle changed hands several times, and their names are often found in the region (von dem Bussche, Schloen, Gesmold or Ledebur). Of course, there were also some border disputes. The castle, which has since fallen into disrepair, was approved for demolition in 1695, so that the foundations can still be seen today. Only the keep was preserved and was actually used as a prison for some time. Today, it is the keep that is the most striking feature of the ruins of Limberg Castle. If you like, you can borrow a key from the tourist information office. Despite the fact that most of the castle has disappeared, they really make every effort to present the castle ruins in the best possible way. The grounds are not only extremely well maintained, but are also well signposted. The castle's eventful history alone is described on 4 information boards. There is also further information on the various parts of the building. 2 very interesting audio contributions can also be accessed via QR code! And all of this in a comfortable rest area! There are many castle ruins in this region, but for me, Limberg Castle is always one of the most beautiful due to its state of preservation and atmosphere! Just relax and take in the long history of the castle. PS: In the guest house you can see a model of the castle complex, showing how it is supposed to have looked in its full size.
