To make a day of it
Haus Ichterloh stands in Nordkirchen (Kreis Coesfeld), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Haus Ichterloh is a former fortified estate north of the Capelle district of Nordkirchen, in the Kreis Coesfeld. Most of its buildings disappeared after the manor house was sold for demolition in the 19th century. What remains today is a former outer-bailey building and remnants of the moats that once surrounded the site's two islands. This is a place for visitors drawn to archaeological remains rather than an intact historic building.
