House Borg
If you are a guest in the Münsterland region and embark on a discovery tour of the numerous palaces and castles, you can visit Haus Borg, one of four typical moated castles in Drensteinfurt's immediate surroundings. The castle complex with its outer bailey, main castle and baroque gardens lies in the centre of the picturesque landscape. An impressive splendour of rhododendrons and romantic weeping willows line the surrounding moats. An impressive avenue also adorns the driveway to the baroque garden.
The well-kept manor house is simply a marvellous sight. You can view the grounds from the outside, but respectfully keep your distance as it is not open to the public.
The castle in constant change
The entire complex is spread over three islands. The first bricks and quarry stones of Borg House were laid in the middle of the 15th century for the construction of the manor house on the main island. The other houses grouped around the islands were built up until the 18th century. The different epochal characteristics of the architectural styles of the extensions can be clearly recognised. Borg House has always been privately owned and therefore prefers to be enjoyed from a distance.

3 Tips for the Borg House
- If you are travelling in Drensteinfurt's surroundings, the other moated castles are worth seeing: Haus Venne, Haus Steinfurt and Haus Bisping. The latter is within walking distance of Haus Borg. All the manor houses are located along the 100 Castles Route.
- You can follow in the footsteps of Drensteinfurt's past in the mill and equipment museum. Cogwheels and blades turn here in slow motion, perfect for watching.
- Every corner is buzzing: busy insects await you in the Bee Museum. The little buzzers give you a glimpse of their hustle and bustle and produce regional and sweet delicacies.
