The public observatory in Borken-Hoxfeld was named after Josef Bresser, the founder and owner of Bresser Optik, as the company was heavily involved in the idea and planning, and financed and realized it together with the city of Borken. The observatory was completed in December 2002 and inaugurated in May 2003. It serves public astronomy education and houses the largest mass-produced telescope to date: a 16-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. The Borken Star Friends Association is currently responsible for its operation.

A new addition is an ice cream vending machine, where you can enjoy farm-fresh ice cream in a cone.

A visit is definitely worth it.

The Catholic Church of St. Peter and Paul in Werth is a single-nave, neo-Gothic brick building with a square facade tower, a high spire, and four polygonal corner turrets. This church was built in 1886 on a hill where Werth Castle once stood in the Middle Ages. Therefore, the church is clearly visible from afar.

This mill is a type of gallery windmill with a stone tower, also known as a tower windmill. Whether the tower was once a defensive tower from 1420 or was built around 1480 has not been proven to this day. However, it is certain that the interior technology dates back to 1554. This makes this mill one of the oldest with its historic milling technology still fully intact! The wooden milling mechanism is still well preserved on seven floors. The cap and its blades are turned into the wind by a churning device inside the mill. Until 1935, the mill was powered solely by the historic wind turbine on the top floors. After that, a diesel engine and electricity were added as power sources. Some of these devices can still be seen on the lower floors. The stone tower belonged to the Prince of Salm until 1965, and the milling facility was operated by the last millers, Dietrich Sterneborg and Bernhard Resing. Later, the mill belonged to the Borken district and, since 1994, to the town of Isselburg. Since 1995, it has been managed by the Werth 1986 e.V. local history association, which also offers regular tours.

A very beautiful and impressive windmill on the edge of town. Benches and a river invite you to linger.

This two-story gatehouse was located in front of the former Werth moated castle (site: raised hill - today the Church of St. Peter and Paul) and was part of the city fortifications. However, nothing of the former city wall remains today; only this gatehouse remains. It is believed to have been built in the 16th century. This building was already referred to as the "Rathaus" (town hall) on a map from 1768. It has a red tiled roof with a small ridge turret, and the pointed gable walls are decorated with corner battlements. It forms the end of the small market square/forecourt between Deichstraße and Binnenstraße. It was severely damaged in World War II and subsequently rebuilt. After its final restoration in the early 1960s, the Werth City Council met in the meeting room once a month until 1975. Following the municipal reorganization in early 1975, Werth lost its independence and became a district of the city of Isselburg. Later, Werth clubs and associations used the hall, and most recently, an engineering firm. (Source: Werth Local History Society) Since 2011, the historic town hall has been privately owned and completely restored by the owner. It can be rented for private or business events, conferences, and celebrations, such as civil weddings. Rentals and questions about the space can be directed to: info@torhaus-burg-werth.de
