Münster
Münster invites with sights for every taste. Münster has officially had the status of a major city since 1915, and in 2009 the city had about 275,000 inhabitants. With almost 50,000 students, Münster is one of the largest university cities in Germany.
In 799, Pope Leo III founded the diocese of Münster and the dioceses of Osnabrück, Minden and Paderborn during his meeting with Emperor Charlemagne. In 805, St. Ludger was consecrated as the first bishop of Münster in Cologne Cathedral.
Münster is known as a cycling city as well as for its historic Old Town. In 2004, the city won the LivCom Award as the most livable city in the world in its category.

The historic city center
Particularly worth mentioning as the center of the city is St. Paul’s Cathedral, a building of the 13th century. Very interesting is especially the astronomical clock in the choir gallery, whose calendar goes up to the year 2071.
The historic old town, the Aasee, or the young Kreativkai – all this is so close together that you can easily discover the city on foot. For the real Münster feeling, however, hop on a bike.

Shopping
Elegant designer stores, fine jewelry stores, beautiful bookstores, sophisticated department and furniture stores, gift and antique stores line up here.
In between, you can enjoy the panorama in one of the many street cafés or in the typical Westphalian pubs. During your stroll you should not miss the weekly market, which is one of the most beautiful in Germany.

Water features
Pedal boating or a sailing trip on the Aasee lake
Münster’s most central recreational area is the Aasee. It is only a 15-minute walk from Prinzipalmarkt and offers a number of interesting leisure activities. A boat rental, a sailing school and two sailing clubs invite you to explore the lake from the water. The picturesque paths also entice you to take beautiful walks in the greenery.

Golfing in MÜnsterland
An 18-hole golf course is located directly behind the castle and blends harmoniously into a largely flat, park-like terrain. Guests who have an appropriate DGV requirement have the opportunity to engage in sporting activities here. When designing the square, emphasis was placed on the special features of the Münsterland landscape, such as rampart hedges, lakes and streams.
As a hotel guest you will receive a green fee discount.
The arrangement of tee times and payments are made directly at the secretary’s office of the golf club
by phone: +49 (0)251 214 090
Secretariat and clubhouse of the golf course are independent from the hotel.

The 100 Castles Route
To the treasures in the Münsterland
Away from the busy roads, the 100 Castles Route leads through the green parkland of Münsterland. Meadows, pastures and hedgerows determine the picture of this rather flat landscape. In the middle of it all lie the true treasures of Münsterland: Palaces and castles with their imposing palace gardens and parks bear witness to former stately times.
