Burg Bentheim

The mighty Bentheim Castle towers above the town and is one of the most important preserved hilltop castles in northern Germany. With almost 1,000 years of history, it offers guided tours through Gothic knights' chambers, views from bastion towers and regular medieval events. Every year in the summer months, the grounds around Bentheim Castle are transformed into an open-air stage. The open-air plays offer drama, musicals and children's plays in an atmospheric setting.
