City of moated castles

Lüdinghausen is so much: home, vacation destination, cycling paradise, moated castle town, Cittaslow... We show you what makes Lüdinghausen so special, why people like living in our town so much and why many tourists visit it time and again.

Unbeatable: The two castles in the middle of the town. It is a five-minute walk from the market square to Lüdinghausen Castle and perhaps ten minutes to Vischering Castle. Between the castles lies the moated castle landscape with plenty of green oases to linger in. The rose garden in Seppenrade with its magnificent flowers is a wonderful destination, especially in summer. Our cycle routes are a wonderful way to cycle through the Münsterland. And our city center attracts visitors with a variety of owner-managed stores and great restaurants and cafés.

The castles

The most beautiful sides of the city

And all this under the "Cittaslow" label. Cittaslow - that is a city "where people live who are curious about time found again, which is rich in squares, theaters, stores, cafés, restaurants, places full of spirit, original landscapes, fascinating craftsmanship, where people still recognize the slow, enjoy the change of seasons, the authenticity of products and the spontaneity of customs, respect taste and health ...". This is what it says in the Cittaslow Manifesto and this is exactly how you can experience it in Lüdinghausen.

Lüdinghausen - simply worth living and loving!

The city

Cycling

Lüdinghausen and the surrounding area is a wonderful place to cycle. With the Lüdinghauser Acht and the cloverleaf tours, we offer tour suggestions that lead to the Lüdinghausen and Seppenrad sights as well as to the highlights in the surrounding area. For example, you can cycle to Nordkirchen Castle, the Haltern reservoir, the Davert, the Stever floodplain in Olfen or along the Stever.

There's something going on here

Lüdinghausen is characterized by a wide range of leisure and cultural activities. Many actors contribute to the fact that there is always something going on in the town. City festivals, markets, festivals, cabaret, exhibitions, concerts, theater, sports - take a look at our calendar and you'll always be up to date. There is also a huge range of leisure activities that you can book individually: Farm golf, alpaca tours, canoeing, feeding lions and tigers, covered wagon rides, tastings and much more.
