Burg Lüdinghausen

Burg Lüdinghausen is a castle in central Westphalia featuring a main tower and thick walls surrounded by a water-filled moat. The complex comprises several connected buildings that can be reached through bridges and ramps.

The castle was founded in 1271 and served as a defensive stronghold in the Westphalian region throughout the Middle Ages. The complex was expanded and rebuilt repeatedly over the following centuries.

The castle serves as a venue for exhibitions and cultural events where visitors encounter local artworks and regional traditions displayed throughout its rooms. This setting allows people to connect with how the community has expressed itself artistically over the centuries.

The grounds are designed to be accessible and can be fully explored by wheelchair users. Visitors will find ramps and adapted pathways throughout that provide easy access to all areas.

The castle clearly displays layers from different building periods, with a medieval defensive tower standing alongside residential structures from the Renaissance era. This mix of different styles shows how the complex evolved over generations.
