The Zwinger in Münster is a powerful reminder of history and a canvas for art. Once a part of the city's fortifications, it became a prison and execution site during the Nazi regime before transforming into a memorial. Here, you can experience the sculpture 'The Opposing Concert' and feel the poignant atmosphere of the place. It's a visit that provokes reflection and invites you to pause.
