history
The Adelshof was built from 1702 to 1707 by Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius for Franz Kaspar Ferdinand von Landsberg zu Erwitte . Planned as a baroque courtyard, it shows the form of the strictly symmetrical three-wing complex with a courtyard so typical for Münster. The central projection is gabled. The central building was the master's apartment with bedroom, study, changing room and dining room. An archive was also housed. The servants and the stables were quartered in the side wings. A brewery and a carriage depot were also available. In 1851 the Geological-Paleontological Museum moved into the premises. The building was badly destroyed in the Second World War, but could be rebuilt. Today it is used by the University of Münster as an exhibition building for the geological-paleontological museum, as offices and work rooms for employees of the institute and as a lecture hall building.
