Schloß Wocklum, Water castle in Balve, Germany

The castle stands on the Orlebach stream banks, featuring architectural elements from the Baroque period with grand halls and refined living spaces.

The von Landsberg-Velen noble family acquired the castle in 1656 through Landdroste Daniel Dietrich, maintaining ownership through subsequent generations until present day.

The castle grounds host the annual Longines Balve Optimum equestrian tournament, attracting international competitors for dressage and show jumping competitions.

Visitors can attend the Landpartie fair at Schloss Wocklum from October 3rd to 6th, 2024, featuring regional products, fashion shows, and culinary exhibitions.

The castle maintains its original function as a private residence while simultaneously serving as a venue for Germany's premier equestrian competitions.
