Burg Gemen, Medieval castle in Borken, Germany.
The castle features multiple architectural elements from different periods, including defensive towers, fortified walls, and a central keep dating from 1280.
First documented in 1274, Gemen Castle underwent five major reconstruction phases throughout centuries before being acquired by Baron Johann Ignatz Franz von Landsberg-Velen in 1822.
The Diocese of Münster operates the castle as a youth education center since 1946, providing educational programs and hosting various community activities.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds throughout the year, with the exterior areas offering different perspectives for photography and historical appreciation.
The castle stands as part of the 100 Castles Route, connecting multiple historical fortifications across the Münsterland region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
