A bit ruined, but an interesting, historical place. It can be visited for free, it can also be reached by car on a gravel road at a slow pace, and it is a 10-minute walk from the stone road.

Anyone who goes there should definitely visit the monastery. The monks who live here are aloof, but kind. Everything is free to visit. A significant part of the monastery is under renovation, but regardless, the atmosphere is fantastic ?

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
