Haus Pröbsting, Water castle in Hoxfeld, Germany.

The rectangular whitewashed manor house stands surrounded by moats, featuring a grand staircase and reflecting its east side in the water.

Built in the mid-14th century, Haus Pröbsting started as a probate estate of Vreden Abbey in 1221 and remains the oldest brick building in Münsterland.

The poet Ilse von Stach, born at the estate in 1879, incorporated her experiences at Haus Pröbsting into her novel 'Haus Elferding'.

The property now functions as Schlossklinik Pröbsting, a private psychiatric clinic, limiting interior access while exterior views remain possible.

The building underwent multiple transformations, from a manor house to a nursing home by the Merciful Brothers of Montabaur in 1930.
