Castle Gemen, a towering picturesque building, is now a popular youth castle. The irregular round circumference proves it to be one of the oldest in the country, which probably goes back to a prehistoric Ringburg. In the middle of the 13th century, Goswin von Gemen, in order to be protected from the bishop of Münster, made his castle a fief to the Count of Cleves. Henry III. from Gemen, who received the castle in 1370, brought about a golden age. He founded a territory and expanded Gemen to the castle. His son John II continued since 1424 the work. In 1492 the sex disappeared. It inherited the counts of Holstein-Schaumburg: Jobst II (1557-1583) fought with his cousin William of Orange. Therefore, 1568 plundered Duke Alba Gemen. In 1640, the Counts of Limburg-Styrum got the rule: In 1644, Count Adolf inherited the property and moved his court to Gemen, Hermann Otto II (1675-1704) gave the castle its present form. In 1694 imperial immediacy was confirmed. In 1822 Gemen came to the family of Landsberg-Velen, which furnished and inhabited the building and leased it since 1946 as a youth castle to the diocese of Münster.
