Haus Bisping, Moated castle in Drensteinfurt, Germany

The two-story gatehouse of Haus Bisping features red brick walls, yellow sandstone window frames, and bears the coat of arms from 1681.

First documented in 1364, Haus Bisping became the property of the von Galen family in the 16th century through marriage with Bernarda von Wolff.

Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen, a significant figure in German religious history, was born at Haus Bisping in the 17th century.

While the castle remains private property, visitors can observe its exterior architecture from the road as part of the 100 Castles Route.

The gatehouse from 1651 stands as the main preserved structure of the original castle complex, with portions of the moat still visible.
