Haus Rüschhaus, Baroque residential museum in Münster-West, Germany

This late Baroque estate combines a refined architectural design with a symmetrical layout featuring a central building and two side wings at Am Rüschhaus 81.

Johann Conrad Schlaun transformed the original moated farmstead into his private residence between 1745 and 1749, incorporating advanced architectural techniques of the period.

German poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff wrote numerous literary works during her residence at Haus Rüschhaus from 1826 to 1846.

The museum offers guided tours from April through October, Wednesday to Sunday at 11:00, 12:00, 13:30, 14:30, and 15:30, with regular admission at 5 euros.

The preserved study room called Schneckenhäuschen contains original furnishings and personal items from the period when Annette von Droste-Hülshoff lived there.
