Rietberg: Gartenschaupark Grounds, Renaissance Schloss Courtyard, and the Ems Source Town in Ostwestfalen
Rietberg has about 28,700 residents and lies in the Guetersloh district of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Gartenschaupark, from the 1988 state garden show, extends along the Ems river which rises nearby. The Renaissance-era Schloss Rietberg with its arcaded courtyard sits in the old town centre. Rietberg was historically an independent county within Westphalia.
Guetersloh is about 15 kilometres north. Paderborn lies roughly 30 kilometres east. Lippstadt is nearby to the southeast. Wiedenbrueck, now part of Rheda-Wiedenbrueck, borders to the west. The flat Ems valley terrain characterises the landscape. John of Rietberg was a notable medieval count who expanded the town's fortifications.
