Bad Bentheim, Administrative division in Lower Saxony, Germany.
This administrative division lies in Lower Saxony close to the Dutch border, encompassing residential streets, woodland and sulfur springs spread across its territory. A large castle on a hilltop overlooks the center and surrounding landscape.
The earliest written record dates to 1050, when the settlement appeared as Binithem and grew around a noble fortress. Mineral springs were found in 1711, leading later to the establishment of spa operations.
The name comes from Old Saxon 'Binithem', referring to the position among hills. Today people from the region and beyond visit the spa facilities for wellness and health treatments.
The center offers access to medical facilities and thermal baths that draw on natural sulfur springs. Many paths through the woodlands are suitable for walks and short hikes.
The sandstone from the castle hill was quarried for centuries and used in buildings across Germany and the Netherlands. Today you can still see the pale stone color on facades of many old houses in the area.
