Zitadelle von Münster, Renaissance fortress in Münster, Germany
The Zitadelle von Münster features pentagon-shaped fortifications with defensive walls, bastions, and a surrounding moat in the heart of Münster.
Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen ordered the construction of this military fortress between April 1661 and May 1662 to protect against external threats.
The fortress grounds now serve as a venue for exhibitions, concerts, and cultural events, connecting residents with the military heritage of Münster.
Visitors can reach the Zitadelle through nearby public transportation stops, with dedicated parking facilities available for those arriving by car.
The fortress experienced only one military engagement during the Seven Years' War in 1759, after which it was converted into the Fürstbischöfliches Schloss.
