Burg Anholt is one of the largest and most beautiful moated castles of the Münsterland. In memory of a memorable honeymoon trip, Prince Nikolaus Leopold II. zu Salm had a miniature of the Vierwaldstättersee lake, complete with an alpine-romantic cottage, built in the late 19th century. The massive tower dating to the 12th century continues to characterise the appearance of the former castle. The family-owned castle has been the home of the Princes of Salm without interruption since 1641. In the late 17th century, the moated castle was converted into a baroque residential palace. Visitors can take a guided tour to gain a view of the representative salons, private rooms, and the building’s millennium-long history. In addition to the internationally renowned collection of Old Masters, among other things including important works by Cranach, Murillo, and Rembrandt, the art collections to be explored also contain porcelain, glass, tapestries, baroque furniture, weapons, coins, and historical books.
