Place description
The Kiepenkerl statue is a beloved Münster landmark, symbolizing the city and the surrounding Münsterland region. The term Kiepenkerle once referred to itinerant traders who traveled the countryside selling their goods. Around the statue — beneath a large glowing Christmas tree — you’ll find a welcoming market known for its excellent gastronomy, including mulled wine, punch, and hearty Westphalian specialties.
Welcome to our stunning Westphalian water castle! Elegantly furnished in traditional style, the hotel lets you experience the charm and atmosphere of a real castle.

Großer Kiepenkerl Gasthaus
Münster • Restaurace • $$
In the heart of Münster’s historic Kiepenkerl quarter, Gasthaus Großer Kiepenkerl has been a family-run restaurant since 2012 — though hospitality at this very spot dates back to the 13th century.
Here, centuries of local history meet honest, hearty Westphalian cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. After a stroll through the Christmas market, it’s the perfect place to settle in and enjoy a festive meal that tastes like tradition itself.
