Christian

 Fürst zu Bentheim und Steinfurt

To learn more about the Fürst you can visit his website at:

Christian Fürst zu Bentheim und Steinfurt

 

You can visit the website of his historic castle in Bentheim:

Burg Bentheim

 

You are also invited to visit the website of his beautiful castle in Steinfurt:

Burg Steinfurt

At this website one will find some breath-taking pictures of this beautiful castle.  It is located on two islands in the Aa River and has a history which spans over a  thousand years.  For Christians, a glimpse of this magnificent castle is virtually an earthly picture of John 14:2, "In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?"

Unfortunately this website is not given in English.  However, if you go to Google.com and type in the following line (it can be copied and pasted):

Burg Steinfurt stenvorde

the first entry to come up should be the castle's page (www.stenvorde.de/stenv_schloss.html).  You will find this page given at the bottom of the first entry.  From this page in Google, on the first line of the entry to the far right you will find: "Translate this page."  Click on those words and the page will be translated with sufficient clarity as to unfold its contents.  Enjoy!
