Cappenberg Castle
Selm, Germany, Germany
Cappenberg Castle in Selm, Germany, is a striking Baroque former Premonstratensian monastery founded in the 1120s as the order's first house in German-speaking lands, featuring a Romanesque collegiate church at its core that survived the Thirty Years' War.
After secularization in 1803, a three-winged main castle arose in the 17th century around the ruins, later owned by Prussian reformer Baron vom Stein, who stored artworks there during World War II bombings.
Renovated by 2022 into a cultural hub with a museum on regional history, temporary art exhibits, concerts in the church, a café, and trails offering Ruhr views, it draws cyclists, hikers, and culture seekers to its idyllic Münsterland ridge.
