In North Rhine-Westphalia, Brick Gothic is concentrated west of the Rhine north of Bonn and in western Münsterland. The regional style, including the colour of the bricks (very dark or very pale, but seldom very red), is very similar to neighbouring regions of the Netherlands – the present day border, three miles east of the Meuse, is as young as from 1815.
See the location map, placed between the lists of Münster region and of northern Rhine region.
