Discover Ascheberg: Churches, tree trails and cycle routes

Churches and historic sites

St. Lambertus Church in Ascheberg is a Gothic hall church. Johann Conrad Schlaun redesigned its choir in 1740. For those interested in culture, it offers two distinct points of interest: the church’s Gothic classification and the specific later redesign of its choir. If you are interested in architectural history, you can consider both, rather than viewing the church solely through the lens of one period.

Today, Davensberg is home to a museum in the surviving castle tower. The tower is itself part of the town’s history, while the museum provides another cultural highlight. Davensberg is also home to St. Anna’s Castle Chapel, which houses a famous folding altar by Brabender. The museum in the castle tower and the chapel with its altar appeal to different interests: a museum in a surviving historic building on the one hand, and a work of art in a chapel on the other. If you are including culture in your travel plans, you can consider these two attractions separately according to your personal interests.

Castle, park and tree trails

In Herbern, you can view Westerwinkel Castle from the outside. The park invites you to walk and linger. This offers a different kind of visit from exploring church architecture or a museum: you can admire the castle from outside and plan time in the park for a stroll or a break.

The tree trail tours pass through Herbern and Ascheberg, visiting particularly distinctive trees and providing information about them. This combines an outdoor route with the discovery of individual trees and information about them. If you enjoy including specific destinations in a tour, this offers something different from a simple walk without named natural attractions. The routes pass through both of the towns mentioned, so you can make these tree tours a separate part of your exploration.

Explore the cycle route

The cycle route runs along the country road from the outskirts of Ascheberg, at the junction of the B58 and Davensberger Straße (L844), to the village of Davensberg. The route description gives you a specific starting point and destination for your ride. It differs from the tree trail tours: those focus on distinctive trees and information about them, while the cycle route describes a stretch between the outskirts of Ascheberg and Davensberg.
