Sendenhof, Medieval knight's residence in Horstmar, Germany
Sendenhof is a residential complex made of stone in the old town of Horstmar, with buildings dating from the 18th century. The structures form a closed courtyard arrangement with stone facades facing the streets.
The complex belongs to a group of medieval knight's residences built to house those who protected the town. The buildings visible today were constructed later, during the early modern period.
The layout of the buildings reflects how a prosperous family lived during the 17th and 18th centuries. The arrangement of the structures and their stone construction tell of wealth and status in the town at that time.
The complex is located at Schlossstraße 15 and is easy to reach on foot, especially from the nearby Schlosstor gate. Its position in the old town makes it simple to explore other historical buildings nearby.
The northern section of the complex connects directly to the Schlosstor, the last surviving city gate of the region. This gate preserves its original pointed arch structure from the 15th century.
