Haus Luetkenbeck, Historical building in Münster, Germany.
Haus Luetkenbeck is a Baroque structure in Münster featuring two octagonal pavilions connected by semi-circular gallery corridors. The building showcases careful craftsmanship with columns, stucco work, and decorative details throughout its spaces.
The original water castle was founded in 1696 by the Pictorius brothers and suffered a fire in 1714. Lambert Friedrich von Corfey rebuilt it into its current Baroque form by 1720.
The northern pavilion serves as a chapel with decorated stucco ceilings, while the southern one once housed the regional courthouse. The building reflects how religious and civic functions existed side by side in this space.
The building combines residential spaces with religious functions, and the restored chapel is accessible to visitors year-round. Both wings can be viewed from outside, and the symmetrical layout makes it easy to appreciate the entire complex.
The chapel ceiling features an octagonal mirror surrounded by eight decorated stucco panels with winged putti figures. This unusual combination of mirror and sculpture creates a distinctive visual effect in the space.
