Westfalen Estate 10206 is an historically important 14t th century Manor and later Baroque Castle that lies in the middle of an approximately five hectare park.
From early 2005 onwards bed and breakfast guests have been able to stay the night in six exclusive and, in part, very individual rooms: namely in the rebuilt Baroque tower, the dreamy guard's house and a wing of the 300-year-old estate manager's building.
Breakfast is taken in the “Kaminsaal” the fireplace room, the cross vault or (if the weather's good) also within the ruins itself.
there’s a zoo that's well worth visiting on the estate
