Germany Watercastle Burgsteinfurt Main Gate
The building belongs to the watercastle Burgsteinfurt complex. Crossing over that stone brigde brings you to the main gate of the castle. When following the road you get to the city center.
The castle dates back to the 12th century and is considered the oldest surviving moated castle complex in Westphalia. The castle was constructed on two man-made islands, surrounded by the waters of the Steinfurter Aa, which served as a natural defensive system.
Schloss Burgsteinfurt remains the private residence of the Princes of Bentheim and Steinfurt, whose family has been associated with the castle for centuries.
