I must have driven past it a thousand times by car, but I finally took a bike tour to the castle and I have to say: I was thrilled! A very beautiful complex and the park invites you to linger. Absolutely recommended!

The church is open and can be visited. There's a QR code in front of the door with an interesting audio recording about the church.

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.
