As the topic promises, so the book imparts a sense of tranquility. Each castle, fortress or simply house is presented with a picture and one-page description of its history and architecture. The castles are known as water castles because they are or were surrounded by moats, the topography of the area not including the high cliffs used elsewhere for castle building. A map of their locations in Münsterland, which is north of Essen-Dortmund, many of them in remote rural areas, and their contact information is included. Some are open for tours or are museums, restaurants and or hotels.
