Marina

In 1648, a park/pleasure garden was constructed on this site by order of Prince Willem Frederik of Nassau. A tribute to the end of the 80 years war and the peace of Münster. This part of the city would remain closed to the public for another 150 years.

The park was renovated several times until it became freely accessible in 1795. In the summer months you can enjoy the Prinsentuin concerts on Sunday afternoons. The Prinsentuin and surrounding area is a popular marina for water sports enthusiasts. The location is beautifully situated, the service is good and the mooring costs are low.
