Schloss Nordkirchen, situated in Nordkirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is a moated palace built largely between 1703 and 1734 by architects Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius and Johann Conrad Schlaun. Originally serving as a residence for the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, it is the largest fully or partly moated Wasserschloss in the Westphalian region and earned the epithet "Versailles of Westphalia" for its grandeur and architectural significance. The palace stands as a protected architectural heritage monument.
