Bevergern Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Hörstel, Germany.
The remaining foundation walls of the castle stand in the center of Bevergern village, revealing the layout of a former military fortification.
The castle changed possession multiple times between the Bishop of Münster and the Count of Tecklenburg until its demolition in March 1680.
The castle served as a temporary prison for Anabaptist leader Jan van Leiden in 1535 before his execution at St Lambert's Church.
Archaeological excavations in 1910 revealed sections of the original castle foundations during construction work in the old town area.
Local farmers transported stones from the demolished castle to expand the Elter Church, completing the renovation project in 1683.
