The Münster Castle is the former residence of the Prince-Bishops of Münster. The Baroque complex was built in the 18th century and is now home to the university administration. Directly behind the castle is the Botanical Garden with over 8,000 different plant species.

Salzstraße is one of Münster's oldest trading streets. It was first mentioned as "vicus salis" in 1346. What began as a narrow path behind the courtyards on Alter Steinweg developed into a central thoroughfare running from Servatiiplatz to St. Lambert's Church on Prinzipalmarkt. After World War II, the city center was heavily damaged. The street was rebuilt in a rather simple style, while the Erbdrostenhof, St. Clemens Church, and the Dominican Church were elaborately restored in the Baroque style. Today, Salzstraße is a bustling shopping street.
