The Vornholz Castle was built around 1300 and served the knights of Ostenfelde as their seat. After the destruction of the moated castle during the Thirty Years' War, the present-day Vornholz Castle was built on the old foundations in 1666.

The Ems cycle path has a diversion via the old Münsterweg between Müssingen and Warendorf because the Ems river is being renaturalized.
