From the Prince-Bishop's Residence to the University
The Münster Castle was the prince-bishop's residence until 1803. The architect Johann Conrad Schlaun built the baroque structure for Münster's penultimate prince-bishop Maximilian Friedrich von Königsegg-Rothenfels.
The 91-meter-long three-winged complex with a five-axis central risalit is elegantly designed through the use of red brick and light sandstone. In 1945, the castle was heavily damaged by bombs, and between 1947 and 1953, it was reconstructed according to old plans at least in its external appearance.
