Schloss Münster, the official residence of the prince-bishop of Münster, is a Baroque mansion constructed between 1767 and 1787 in the Münster-Mitte district of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Designed by architect Johann Conrad Schlaun, the castle was built for Maximilian Friedrich von Königsegg-Rothenfels, the penultimate prince-bishop of the region. Executed in characteristic Baumberger sandstone, the building exemplifies the refined elegance of German Baroque palatial architecture. Since 1954, Schloss Münster has served as both the seat and landmark of the University of Münster, securing its role as a prominent institutional and cultural landmark in the city.
