Schloss Sandfort is a moated castle in Vinnum, a district of Olfen in the Münsterland region. Its two round towers likely date from around the mid-15th century, while the main residential building, with its tall four-storey tower topped by a curved Baroque roof, was constructed between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The two outbuildings flanking the gateway, built in a classical style, were added in the mid-19th century. Still inhabited by the same family, it can only be seen from the outside.
