The moated castle of Anholt in the western Münsterland is enthroned like a fairytale castle. In the new episode of the WDR series Adeldynastien in NRW, Julia Melchior visits the princely family of Salm-Salm. In a wintry setting, the head of the household Carl Philipp Prince zu Salm-Salm welcomes her and guides her through the history of the castle and his family.
The imposing moated castle is located in the municipality of Isselburg, halfway between Cologne and Amsterdam. The once medieval fortified building was expanded into a baroque castle around 1700, when Anholt became the property of the Salm-Salm family. The princely family thus also took on responsibility in the region near the German-Dutch border. And the family is thanked: on Prince Carl Philipp's 80th birthday in May 2013, not only the German high nobility but also almost the entire community of Isselburg is present.
Visiting the princely family of Salm-Salm, Julia Melchior takes the viewer on an impressive journey through historic castle settings.
