Station: [55] Present

„Today, almost five centuries after the start of construction, the castle complex is once again a real gem after extensive building and restoration work: officially it serves as the "cultural and civic centre" of the city of Gelsenkirchen. People visit the restaurant, the office of the sponsoring association and the municipal cultural department or the district administration, many even get married here at the registry office! The Museum of castle Horst has also become a popular excursion destination. Here, visitors are taken on a highly entertaining and instructive journey back in time - we hope that this is how you experienced it on your tour, which is now coming to an end. We thank you for your interest and would be pleased if you recommend our museum to others!"
