who descended from the Counts of Tecklenburg. It lies between Havixbeck and the Münster suburb of Roxel and has belonged to the municipality of Havixbeck since 1975. The castle was owned by the Barons Droste zu Hülshoff
from 1417 to 2012 and is the birthplace and parental home of the poetess Annette von Droste-Hülshoff and other prominent members of the family.
