Cover photo description:
Anholt moated castle in the western part of MÃ¼nsterland is one of Germany's few privately owned castles. The â€œfat towerâ€ dating from the 12th century is still a characteristic feature of the castle, which was originally built on oak pillars with stone foundations and was later turned into a baroque residence in the 14th century. Today, the moated castle is used as a museum set up by Prince Nickolaus of Salm-Salm (1906-1988), where visitors can admire a private collection of art.
