Burg Hülshoff is a moated castle in Münsterland, which was already mentioned in documents in the 11th century. Its name is most likely derived from the noble ministerial family Hüls (Hulse) zu Kleve, the presumed builders of the castle, who descended from the Counts of Tecklenburg. It is located between Havixbeck and the Münster suburb of Roxel and has belonged to the municipality of Havixbeck since 1975. The castle was owned by the Barons Droste zu Hülshoff from 1417 to 2012 and is the birthplace and parental home of the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff and other prominent members of her family.
