Hünxe has served as a rural settlement in the Lower Rhine region since the Middle Ages. The municipality lies near the Lippe River, where the flat Lower Rhine plain meets the wooded tracts of the Hohe Mark Nature Park. Its dispersed districts retain a distinctly rural character despite their position between the Ruhr area and the Dutch border. Schloss Gartrop, a moated manor in the Drevenack district, recalls the landed estates that long shaped this part of Westphalia. Woodland, fields and village lanes make Hünxe a quieter counterpoint to the nearby industrial cities.
