History

Bad Bentheim has a history rich in tradition. The big castle complex, first mentioned in 1116, is the famous emblem of the town. Healing sulphur sources from which a health cure bathing business developed were discovered at 1711. This clinic for skin diseases is still existing, with a beautiful parc with little ponds and pridges, where you can go for a walk.
The complete area should be annexed by the Netherlands in the context of the Bakker-Schut plan in 1945. Due to the re-state of the USA and Great Britain this was prevented.

The so called Bentheimer Gold (English:Gold of Bentheim) is actually the Bentheim sandstone. The trade (15-18th century) spread him about the borders of the Grafschaft Bentheim to the Münsterland to East Frisia and to the Netherlands.
It exists an open-air theatre in Bad Bentheim which is located in three disused stone quarries and therefore offers a picturesque nature scenery. There, everyone is able to watch interesting stage plays in summer. It surprises often with events, such as night performances, too.
