Schloss Westerwinkel stands in Ascheberg (Kreis Coesfeld), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Westerwinkel stands at Ascheberg in the Münsterland region, within a moated estate typical of the area. Built mainly between 1663 and 1668, it ranks among the earliest baroque castles in Westphalia, replacing a medieval stronghold of which nothing visible remains. The estate has belonged to the von Merveldt family since the 16th century and remains in their hands today. A museum occupies part of the buildings and can be visited by appointment.
