Notes: The historic town hall of Münster in Westphalia on Prinzipalmarkt is one of the city’s landmarks, along with St. Paulus Cathedral. Münster’s town hall gained notoriety during the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia in Münster and Osnabrück , which ended the Thirty Years’ War in Europe. At the same time, it is the birthplace of the modern Netherlands , as the 80-year Spanish-Dutch War ended with the Peace of Munster during the Congress on May 15, 1648. At the same time as the Netherlands, Switzerland left the Holy Roman Empire. It was valid until the original structure was largely destroyed in World War II and has been valid again since the reconstructionas one of the most important secular architectural monuments of the Gothic.

Schloss Münster, officially Fürstbischöfliches Schloss Münster, is the schloss built as the residence of the prince-bishop of Münster, modern-day North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It was built between 1767 and 1787 in baroque style as a mansion for the last but one prince-bishop Maximilian Friedrich von Königsegg-Rothenfels. The architect was Johann Conrad Schlaun. Since 1954 it has been the seat and landmark of the Westphalian Wilhelms University. The castle is built from the typical Baumberger sandstone of Münster. (Wikipedia)
