Velen Castle Mill

Highlight • Monument

The castle mill is one of the oldest structures in the area. The watermill used to belong to the castle and was used to grind grain. Then it was rebuilt and supplied the community with electricity. In 2004, however, the entire mill was converted into a residential building, café and mill museum and is therefore a nice destination for excursions: schlossmuehle-velen.de.

Velen Castle Park

Highlight • Castle

A well-tended park and an adjacent piece of forest invite you to take a little round. We had parked right by the church.

Velen Castle

Highlight • Castle

Velen Castle grew out of a castle that was first mentioned in 1245. Over the centuries, famous master builders have created the "fairytale castle of the Münsterland". Today it is a "sports castle".

The orangery, the zoo and of course the gastronomy are worth seeing.

St. Andrew's Parish Church, Velen

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Andreas is a listed Roman Catholic parish church and was consecrated on June 5, 1860. However, there were previous buildings as early as the end of the 12th century, as a separate church of the noble lords of Velen.

Stream Swimming Spot with Rope Swings

Highlight • River

Here two ropes hang from a sturdy oak tree, just above the water, which is very shallow here. In summer it is certainly fun to refresh yourself here in the cool water. A bench with a table is right next to it, so you can also take a nice break from hiking here and cool your feet after a long walk.

May 13, 2025,Velen: Schlosspark und rund um den Tiergarten

chateauform.com/de/haus/schloss-velen - that's it for the VIPs.
The adjacent castle park and the zoo are a not-too-extensive, relaxing area with many aspects worth exploring. The Westphalian Regional Association has designated very attractive hiking trails with impressively maintained rest areas, the Ortswege V1-3. However, the documentation on the local and regional websites is apparently not yet complete.
