Villa Alstede

The Villa Alstede complex features multiple structures built from Baumberger sandstone, including the main house, a defensive granary, and a residential storage building.

First documented in 1217 as part of the Aegidiikloster in Münster, the estate changed ownership through noble families until the Schulze Hauling family acquired it in 1825.

The 1908 reconstruction introduced Art Nouveau interior elements, reflecting the architectural preferences and craftsmanship standards of early 20th century Germany.

The residential granary building contains two separate living spaces measuring 150 and 300 square meters, adapted from the original storage structure built in 1890.

The defensive granary includes basement shooting holes and an upper-floor sandstone fireplace, marking its dual purpose as both fortress and living quarters.
