Horst Castle (German: Schloss Horst), located in the Horst district of Gelsenkirchen, is recognized as one of Westphalia's oldest and most significant Renaissance buildings.[1] During its construction in the 16th century, it ranked among the largest four-winged castle complexes north of the Alps,[2] significantly influencing the architectural style of the Lippe Renaissance. On 15 December 1983 it was declared a listed building.[3]
