Haus Heeren

Haus Heeren displays medieval defensive architecture with water-filled moats surrounding the main building structure and features traditional Westphalian construction elements.

This medieval structure represents the architectural heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia, demonstrating the connection between nobility and fortified residences in German history.
