Vischering Castle, Medieval water castle in Lüdinghausen, Germany.
The castle features a defensive courtyard, gateways, moat, drawbridge, main building, and chapel, all constructed with sandstone walls and red tile roofs.
Bishop Gerhard von der Mark established this fortification in 1271 to counter another castle built by the Von Lüdinghausen family in the area.
The Münsterlandmuseum within the castle presents exhibitions about medieval knighthood through interactive displays and educational programs for children.
The castle opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, remaining closed on Mondays except during public holidays.
The structure maintains its original medieval fortress design despite modifications after a fire in 1521, including new windows and a large bay addition.
