The Falkenhof Rheine for the Castles and Burgs Day

The former noble Falkenhof is centrally located in the old town of Rheine. The entire complex, whose beginnings date back to the 9th century, comprises the three-winged main house, the gatehouse and a landscaped garden. Until the 19th century, the Falkenhof, which was influenced by the Baroque period, served as a noble residence. Today it houses Rheine's town museum. Highlights are the life testimonies of the former aristocratic residents: from pancake plates to Venetian glasses.
