The water castle complex was originally located on two islands; today, the outer bailey and the main castle are united and surrounded by two moats. This defensiveness and some baroque elements are reminiscent of the historical significance of Egelborg. https://www.lwl.org/geodatenkultur/objekt/252620

The municipality of Rosendahl writes about the Barenborg: “The Barenborg is one of the best-preserved motte-and-bailey castles in Münsterland. The almost circular complex is located in a once extensive marshland, not far from where the Holtwicker Bach flows into the Dinkel. It essentially consists of an approximately 3 m high earth mound with a flattened top (diameter approx. 25 m), surrounded by a double moat system (Gräften) that is now once again filled with water. The width of the inner moat is approx. 16 m, the outer one approx. 5 to 6 m. The rampart is approx. 10 m wide and still approx. 1 m high; a causeway, bordered by the outer moat on both sides, leads to it from the northeast. The entire complex, of the "Motte" (French = earth heap) type originating from Normandy, has a diameter of approx. 100 m. The Barenborg was probably an important fortress in the late Middle Ages in the border area ("Bar" = border) of the Münster and Ahaus lords on the formerly important trade route from Ahaus to Coesfeld. The surrounding marshland, the ring wall and the moat system, then the sole access via the causeway and a bridge that existed at the time, offered the defenders good protection on the once-built-upon central island. At the beginning of the 15th century, however, the fortress was destroyed and abandoned. Today, the cultural monument Barenborg has an equal function as a natural monument. Nature has completely taken over the complex over time. As a wetland biotope, it now offers a valuable habitat for rare plants and animals.”

Border between the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. If it weren't for the sign, you wouldn't notice any difference 😁.
