You'll encounter a wealth of life, curiosity, and commitment when cycling to Loburg Castle: On the one hand, the imposing moated castle and boarding school building are impressive from the outside, and on the other, you'll notice that young people here are thinking outside the box. On the Loburg Nature Trail, 28 stations spread across the extensive grounds provide information on a wide range of sustainability topics, such as which herbs growing in the park can be used as medicinal plants or how to properly care for fruit trees. The students and staff of the Johanneum Gymnasium were recognized by the Diocese of Münster in 2019 as a "School with an Eco-Fair Orientation" for their diverse commitment. It's worth taking a stroll here and engaging in conversation.

Haus Dieck is privately owned and can only be admired from the outside. Originally built as a medieval moated castle on just one island with a moat, Haus Dieck is one of the oldest properties in the tranquil gold town of Westkirchen. The facility in Ennigerloh is surrounded by meadows and fields and is located away from the roads by a small stream. Visitors have a view of the well-kept half-timbered gatehouse. Haus Dieck was first mentioned in the years 1276 and 1300 as the main farm of the Lords of Dyke, who gave it its name. It was not until 1451 that it was first mentioned as a castle. https://www.muensterland.com/tourismus/themen/erlebnis-region-muensterland/burgen-und-schloesser-im-muensterland/haus-dieck/

A very enchanted place (private way!): "Scheventorf Castle is a former moated castle in the Renaissance style and a former manor in Bad Iburg (Lower Saxony). A part of the castle complex from the construction period around 1552 is considered the oldest existing half-timbered construction in the Osnabrück region. According to legend, the beautiful Anna von Hake was walled up alive in the castle during the Thirty Years' War because of an unsuitable liaison. The priest and writer Bernhard Köster set a literary monument to her in a historical novel published in 1924.” Source and more information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Scheventorf

Haus Diek in Westkirchen looks very nice and well maintained. We celebrated our company party there before Corona. Very impressive.

The episcopal grammar school in Mindlicht. A nice comparison with Hogwart - the school for magicians 🧙‍♂️ and 🧙🏼‍♀️ ...

There's an interesting educational trail around the castle and the school/boarding school. https://die-loburg.de/loburger-lehrpfad
