Schloss Harkotten, Double castle complex in Sassenberg, Germany

Schloss Harkotten consists of two separate mansions divided by moats, featuring a baroque building and a classical style residence in the Münsterland region.

The original structure from the 14th century was divided between two brothers in 1334, leading to the construction of separate houses on the estate.

The museum inside displays wall paintings by Phillip Ferdinand Bartscher, showcasing the artistic heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia's noble residences.

Visitors can access the grounds daily, but interior tours of the Herrenhaus require advance reservations and are available for groups of ten or more.

An 8-meter tall Atlas figure from 1729 stands east of Castle Ketteler, representing one of the largest baroque park sculptures in Westfalen.
