The town of Fürstenau was first mentioned as "Vorstenowe" in 1344. However, the castle had already been built before that, so the town may have existed there even earlier. The name means something like "Fürstenaue," which refers to the castle's owner, the Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück. In Fürstenau, don't miss the audio tour, which is well worth listening to. Simply scan one of the QR codes on the important buildings. You'll then see all the important stops, which you can listen to and watch.
