Surenburg, Water castle in Hörstel, Germany
The Surenburg castle stands with its moat system, displaying traditional German defensive architecture with square towers and symmetrical wings extending from the central building.
Dating from the 14th century, Surenburg served as both a defensive fortress and noble residence throughout the medieval period in the Münsterland region.
The castle represents the architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia water castles, reflecting the regional nobility's approach to combining defense and residential comfort.
While the castle interior remains closed to the public as a private residence, visitors can observe the external architecture and explore the surrounding cycling paths.
The castle grounds connect directly to the Riesenbeck equestrian club, making it a central point for horse riding activities in the Münsterland region.
