Schloss Lembeck is a moated castle built in 1670 in Dorsten, Germany, situated on the border between the northern Ruhr region and southern Münsterland. Located within the Hohe Mark Nature Park and surrounded by the Hagen and Kippheide forests, the castle occupies a landscape that reflects its etymological origins—the name derives from Low German, with "beke" meaning "flowing water" or "brook" and the determiner suggesting "slimy" terrain, thus translating roughly as "loam brook," a reference to the castle's historical setting in swamp and bog country. The castle is designated as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.
