Schloss Schwansbell, Medieval château in Lünen, Germany.

The Schloss Schwansbell features English Neogothic architecture with two octagonal towers, situated on a former island formed by the Seseke River.

Built between 1872 and 1875 by architect Fritz Weber for Wilhelm von Westerholt, replacing a medieval water castle that stood since 1187.

The château functioned as a youth facility, hospital, and municipal office throughout different periods of the twentieth century.

The building now contains residential apartments and office spaces, while the museum occupies the lateral service building adjacent to the main structure.

The surrounding park contains rare tree species from eastern North America and southeastern Europe, including trumpet trees and tulip trees.
