Ludgerusburg, 17th-century castle in Coesfeld, Germany
The Ludgerusburg features a square layout with four bastions, each containing a cavalier and encircled by a substantial moat system.
Built in 1655 under Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the citadel served as a strategic fortification after the Thirty Years' War.
The structure bears the name of Saint Ludger, the first bishop of Münster Diocese, reflecting the strong religious influence in regional architecture.
Visitors can observe the remaining gatehouse ruins at the entrance of the city park on Osterwicker Street in northern Coesfeld.
The preserved St. Johannes Ravelin north of the railway line represents one of the few surviving elements of this military compound.
