Dubbed the "Versailles of Westphalia" this imposing baroque brick palace was constructed around 1734 for the powerful prince-bishop of Münster (who was however deeply in debt after the works were completed). It is surrounded by extensive gardens that used to rank among Europe's most famous gardens. Nowadays the massive compound is used by North Rhine-Westphalia's college of financial administration. Some parts of the palace are however open to public during guided tours.
Schloss Nordkirchen is a palace situated in the town of Nordkirchen in the Coesfeld administrative district in the state of North Rhine Westphalia, Germany. The schloss was largely built between 1703 and 1734 and is known as the "Versailles of Westphalia" since it is the largest of the fully or partly moated Wasserschlösser in that region. It was originally one of the residences of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster.

Burg Wolfsberg
Only one wing of the 16th-century castle has survived. It was recast during the 18th century and is not that well-preserved which makes it the least interesting of the three castles. Nowadays its basement houses a Schlager music bar.
