Sendenhorst, town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Sendenhorst is a small town in the Warendorf District of North Rhine-Westphalia, built around a historic center with brick buildings and a traditional market square. It sits in the Münsterland region, surrounded by flat farmland typical of the area.
Sendenhorst grew from a farming village and received town rights in the medieval period. For many generations, breweries and distilleries were the main drivers of its local economy.
The market square and surrounding streets are dotted with stone and bronze figures that show workers, barrels, and religious scenes. These works by a local artist give the town center a character that reflects its past trades and beliefs.
The town center is easy to walk through, as the main points of interest are close to each other. For the surrounding countryside, a bike is the most practical option given the flat terrain and well-marked cycle routes in the area.
The sculptor Bernhard Kleinhans created a series of works specifically for the public spaces of Sendenhorst during the 20th century. Many of them show everyday scenes tied to the town's history and can be discovered simply by walking through the streets.
