Dubbed the "Versailles of Westphalia" this imposing baroque brick palace was constructed around 1734 for the powerful prince-bishop of Münster (who was however deeply in debt after the works were completed). It is surrounded by extensive gardens that used to rank among Europe's most famous gardens. Nowadays the massive compound is used by North Rhine-Westphalia's college of financial administration. Some parts of the palace are however open to public during guided tours.
