Crassenstein Castle - An investment in history and excellence: ideal for a bed & breakfast, boutique hotel, beauty clinic or law firm in a central location in Germany A historical gem, shaped by renowned aristocratic families such as the von Wendts and Kettlers, whose influence continues to inspire the Münsterland region to this day. Nestled in the rolling hills of Münsterland, the majestic Crassenstein Castle stands as a testament to bygone eras and a place full of potential for future visions. Its walls tell stories of nobility, art and culture, while the surrounding landscape offers tranquillity and inspiration. The roots of Crassenstein Castle reach deep into history. First mentioned as a fortified castle in 1136, it served as the origin of the present-day village of Diestedde. In 1419, the estate became the property of the prestigious von Wendt family, who shaped and expanded it over the centuries. Between 1840 and 1845, the castle underwent a comprehensive neoclassical renovation under the direction of the renowned master builder Konrad Niermann, which gave it its current elegant appearance. Another important personality, Anna von Kettler, closely associated with the von Wendt family, also left her mark on the history of the estate. After a devastating fire in the roof truss, Baron Engelbert von Kerckerinck zu Borg rebuilt the castle with a magnificent mansard roof between 1921 and 1923. Entering the castle reveals a world full of ornate details and sublime architecture. The staircase is lined with impressive Corinthian columns that make the ascent to the upper floors an experience. A particular highlight is the ornate ceiling painting that once adorned the billiard room and today bears witness to the rich artistic tradition of the hotel. Fine wood paneling, marble staircases and ornate murals complement the opulent interior and reflect the exquisite taste of past generations. The spacious layout of the castle, which once served as a boarding school for numerous students, now offers a variety of uses. Whether as an exclusive bed & breakfast, boutique hotel, beauty clinic or prestigious law firm - the combination of historical flair and modern functionality creates ideal conditions for a wide variety of concepts. There are also two separate pavilions available for purchase, which offer additional space for individual ideas. Surrounded by picturesque meadows and an idyllic pond, Crassenstein Castle offers an oasis of peace and relaxation. At the same time, you benefit from excellent connections: The nearby A2 freeway provides fast connections to the economic centers of the Ruhr area and East Westphalia. Dortmund and Münster/Osnabrück airports can be reached in less than an hour. Another plus point is the proximity to Amazon's gigantic logistics dependency in Oelde, which is only a few minutes' drive away and underlines the economic importance of the region. Crassenstein Castle has recently established itself as a cultural and social meeting place. The "Sundays at 5" concert series with artists such as Holger Blüder delights music lovers, while readings, such as those by Karen Kliewe, and political events underline the castle's versatility as a venue.
