Haus Alst, Medieval Burgmannshof in Horstmar, Germany.

The Renaissance-style building of Haus Alst stands as a protected architectural monument in the district of Steinfurt, North Rhine-Westphalia, near Münster.

First documented in 1217, Haus Alst served as the residence of the Schorlemer-Alst family who provided military service to the bishop of Horstmar.

The structure reflects the feudal organization of medieval German society, where Burgmanns maintained defensive residences near their lord's castle.

Located approximately 30 kilometers northwest of Münster and 8 kilometers from Steinfurt, Haus Alst sits at coordinates 52°5'35.9"N and 7°20'9.2"E.

The name Alst derives from 'alahstedi,' meaning sanctuary site in Old German, indicating the location's function as an early Germanic sacrificial ground.
