Gut Böckel, Water castle and architectural heritage monument in Rödinghausen, Germany.

The medieval estate consists of a two-story main house with corner towers, connected to an outer bailey through a stone bridge.

First documented in 1350, the estate belonged to Knight Alhard von dem Bussche and underwent significant expansions during the baroque period in 1682.

The estate maintains the Hertha Koenig Literary Prize tradition and hosted poet Rainer Maria Rilke in its north tower during 1917.

The facility provides spaces for private events, public festivals, and seasonal markets within its historical buildings and surrounding park grounds.

The property features a European Heritage Garden with geometric layouts and a landscape park containing centuries-old solitary trees established in the 19th century.
