The moated castle Haus Steinfurt is privately owned, but the park and the surrounding area is very beautiful and idyllic. A perfect place to relax and linger.

THE CASTLE THROUGH HISTORY The defensive tower and the St. Anna Chapel from 1500 are the only remaining remnants of the Davensberg castle complex, which was built in 1250 as the ancestral home of the Meinhövel family. Numerous changes of ownership shaped the property up until the 16th century with structural extensions. After that, the walls of the fortress gradually fell into disrepair until the complex came to an end in the Thirty Years' War.  MÜNSTERLAND IN DETAIL | DAVENSBERG CASTLE TOWER The tower The castle tower was given a gruesome task: numerous witch-hunting trials took place on the three floors of the complex. In the upper fireplace room, a court negotiated the fate of the condemned. The darker witnesses of the time were on the ground floor and in the basement: the prison with torture chamber and the dark dungeon.

DAVENSBERG CASTLE TOWER With its idyllic and natural location in the north of Ascheberg, Davensberg Castle Tower is a popular venue for private and public events. And the interior of the ancient complex is also worth seeing: here the local history association's museum provides exciting insights into traditional agricultural culture. Equipped with a wedding room, the property forms an all-round romantic backdrop for weddings and celebrations. But you can also learn about gruesome stories that took place within the tower walls in the Middle Ages on exciting guided tours. These are offered on request.

Today it is the administrative seat of the University of Münster. The Institute for Botany of the Faculty of Biology at the University of Münster, which was built at the end of the 19th century, is located in the castle garden. At the same time, there is the institute's botanical garden, which is open to public tours at irregular intervals.
