Baroque Munster




 

The bishopric of Muenster covered most of the Northern part of what is now Northrhine-Westphalia. It is mainly flat or hilly at the most. That is one reason why there are so many castles - usually water castles - left, that are still inhabited. Castles on the top of the hills were too difficult to keep up and to get to after they lost there strategic value.
