In the green corner of the docile Slavetić region with scattered orchards, vineyards and flower fields, on the top of the hill opposite the parish church of St Antony the Loner (Sv Antun Pustinjak) from 1600, lies the castle of the counts of Oršić. The old town is mentioned in 1294 within the foothill county, and after changing a few masters, in 1468 it came into possession of counts of Oršić, until 1869 when its owner became Levin Rauch. Originally built as a medieval castle with a Gothic centre and a guard tower and castle, in the subsequent renovations and annexes from the 16th to the 18th century this place was converted into a spacious castle. Construction phases are reflected through the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. This complex, comprised of several buildings for various purposes, closes shared inner courtyard. Above the entrance a year 1639 is indicated. In the castle there is a preserved kiln from the 17th century, a fireplace with consoles, and valuable portraits. Today the castle is privately owned.
References: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.
