Munster, the southwestern province of Ireland, comprising the counties of Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford. It was historically one of the “Five Fifths” (ancient provinces, or kingdoms) of Ireland.

Münster (Muenster) is famous for its bike-friendly streets, prestigious university, and cultural importance. This major city of northwest Germany is home to over 30 museums dedicated to a broad range of topics, from art and science to history and technology. Münster Old Town is a great place to explore.

The Münster Rebellion occurred in 1534-1535 in Münster, Germany when radical Anabaptists seized control of the city, aiming to establish a communal sectarian government. Their reign saw the implementation of radical reforms, which included property confiscation and polygamy.

Münster's roots can be traced back to the 6^th century AD. However, the city officially came into existence in 793, when Frisian missionary Liudger founded the “Monasterium” cloister. Münster became a cathedral city as early as 805, and the city remains an active centre of the Roman-Catholic church.
