Raesfeld (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a municipality in the district of Borken in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located approximately 10 km south of Borken and 30 km east of the Dutch border.
Raesfeld's landmark is the moated castle Template:Ill, originally built in the 13th century and extended and remodeled in Renaissance style in the 17th century. It is now primarily used by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia as a center for the teaching of crafts; the formal gardens have been lost, but the wildlife park has been restored and is part of the European Garden Heritage Network.
The municipality of Raesfeld includes Template:Ill, a village within the Template:Ill that has an ancient oak, the Femeiche, thought to be 600–850 years old and named for Vehmic court sessions formerly held under it.
