Vischering Castle
Burg Vischering
A 13th-century moated castle in Lüdinghausen, one of the most typical water castles of the Münsterland, with a museum inside.
Built in 1271, the castle consists of a main castle and an outer bailey, both encircled by a moat. It is well preserved and regarded as the epitome of Münsterland water castles. Inside is the Münsterland Castle Museum, with interactive exhibits on knights and castle life. Admission is about 8 euros. The castle is about 30 kilometers from Münster. You can take a train to Lüdinghausen and walk from there, or combine it with Nordkirchen Palace on a half-day drive.
