Haus Heidhorn

Haus Heidhorn is a park-like estate in Münster with different sections serving various purposes. The northern area features an arboretum with varied tree species, while the southern part has open meadows and a pond.

The first recorded mention dates to 1235 when Knight Themo de Berle sold a forest plot to St. Aegidii monastery. The land evolved over centuries and was later adapted for residential and care purposes.

The chapel on the grounds was built in 1964 and shaped by the Sisters of Divine Providence who worked here. The place connects faith and community through its spatial design.

The site is connected to public transport and offers walking paths throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, especially when the ground is wet, and allow time to explore the different areas.

A half-timbered building from 1667 that once served as a granary has been converted into a museum today. It preserves memories of the region's local history and craft traditions.
