Schloss Lembeck stands in Dorsten (Kreis Recklinghausen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 17th century. Adult admission costs 6 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on October 1, 2026.

Schloss Lembeck is a moated castle built on two islands surrounded by wide water ditches, in Dorsten, in the Kreis Recklinghausen, in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its buildings are arranged along an east-west axis roughly 500 metres long, an unusual layout for Baroque architecture, reached by crossing two drawbridges and a gate leading into the main courtyard. The surrounding park, planted with rhododendrons and mostly English roses, can be visited in any season, while a local history museum occupies part of the buildings. The castle dates from the 17th century and is still defined by this uncommon interplay of towers and views opening onto the countryside.
