Versmold

Versmold is a municipality in Gütersloh district in North Rhine-Westphalia and spreads across land with mixed residential and commercial areas. The town sits in a flat region and combines older structures with newer residential developments.

The settlement received its first written mention in 1096, and later gained city rights in the 18th century under Prussian rule. This development established it as a significant place in the region.

St. Petri Church shapes the town center with its solid structure and demonstrates how religious buildings once served protective functions for communities. Visitors notice the thick walls and fortified design that provided safety for local residents.

The place lies relatively flat and is well-connected to road networks, which visitors can consider when planning their arrival. Its proximity to larger cities makes it an accessible destination for day trips.

Local meat processing produces specialized sausages, a traditional craft that has endured over centuries. A fountain at the market square commemorates this long history of meat production.
