The Princes of Salm-Salm, who originally came from the Vosges mountains, moved their residence from Lorraine to Anholt Castle in western Münsterland (Isselburg municipality), which they had acquired together with the Anholt domain from the Counts of Bronckhorst-Batenburg in 1649.
The coats of arms of both noble houses and owners of the castle (1. Brockhorst-Batenburg; 2. Salm-Salm) can be found at Anholt Castle.
