Notable Schloss Nordkirchen-1
Schloss Nordkirchen can either be accessed from the park that surrounds it of can be driven into from the castle backside but I highly recommend parking on the quiet roadway in front of the park and walking into to see this Baroque beauty across the viewing moat, a view that lives up to its nickname of the "Versailles of Westphalia".
The castle itself if relatively modern by European standards and was mostly built in its current style between 1703-1734, originally as a summer palace for the Prince-Bishopric of Münster as a place to get out of the city and beat the heat.
Today the Schloss is home to a state-run college specializing in the training of tax inspectors and is well used as a wedding shoot destination or they will rent the schloss chapel if you really want to go whole hog.
I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 24-70mm 2.8 G2 Lens at 24mm 1/125s, f/11 ISO 100 processed in LR, Topaz Denoise, PS (Lumenzia and DXO Nik Color Efex)
Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
