    The monument to a pedlar (Kiepenkerldenkmal) reminds of dealers who in olden time were wandering along cities of Europe.

    Beautiful Schloss Westerwinkel in Ascheberg is only open to the public for groups after prior telephonical appointment. If you are interested, you will have to check with the local tourist office. It is probably less complicated to just visit the castle grounds, which are impressive enough. The inner courtyard is open for visitors, and you can walk along the moat around the castle.

    Castle Vischering (with a small local museum inside) in Lüdinghausen is one of the best-known and most-photographed moated castles in the Münsterland. Worth the visit, though the interior of the castle is not very spectacular.

    Stephans-church and
    wonderful facades.
    by Pavlik_NL
    Looking at all magnificent facades, buildings and watching the little things in them, one can learn a lot more then just hurrying down the street and randomly calling out "oh's" and "ah's". The Stephan's-church for example has a couple of stone barches sticking out, where they used to hang cages high on either side of the tower. Here it was that some new-thinkers that flead from The Netherlands during the Spanish inquisition, were hanged as examples of turning against the Catholic Church. Thinking that in the rapidly changing to Lutherian, German kingdoms they would be safe, they anyway got caught, send to trial and convicted to death.
    Other less morbid details are the many little statues on the facades of the "Patricians" houses on either side of the mainstreet. They often represent professional groups of late medieval times. Can you recognise which professions?

    One of the largest moated castles in the Münsterland, built in the second half of the 17th century. The castle is open to the public (except for the winter months) - guided tours of the state rooms are possible. The castle has a hotel, a restaurant and a cafe, too.

    Location: near Dorsten

    One of the most idyllic moated castles in the Münsterland, in the little town of Raesfeld (near Dorsten). The castle is used as a public administration academy, so the interior cannot be visited, but you can admire the castle from outside or walk the castle grounds in a beautiful rural setting. A few nice shops have set up in the castle, and there is a good restaurant. Popular setting for weddings, too !

    P.S.: The moat is filled with waterbirds (canada geese, black swans, ducks etc.) - so watch out not to step in their droppings.

    Pigs are very clean animals. This one is taking a shower in the front garden of a flower shop next to Zentralfriedhof. The shower is really on at intervals; of course it had just stopped when I had the camera ready.
