Anholt castle - a photo on Flickriver

Anholt castle

            visitors can now admire one of the largest and most beautiful moated castles in Münsterland. To this day the image of the former fortress is dominated by its massive tower, which was built in the 12th century.

One of the largest and oldest museums in North Rhine-Westphalia is housed within the ancient walls of Anholt Castle itself, which was rebuilt in the 14th century as a prestigious residential palace. Its collection includes Dutch masters like Rembrandt as well as an extensive collection of Chinese, Japanese and even Dutch porcelain, and Renaissance and Baroque furniture.

But it’s not only the castle that is worth a visit; its gorgeous garden is too. The Baroque English landscape garden extends over the entire landscape around its ponds. A spacious box tree parterre garden opens onto the residence of the Princes of Salm-Salm, the owners of this estate for several centuries. Passing by roses and equestrian statues, symmetrical gravel pathways lead to the historic tea house. Colourful rhododendron bushes, lush water lilies and bright red poppies provide additional pops of colour along the way. All the main paths are accessible for wheelchair users.
