I live not far and I had not had the opportunity to go there before but really a very beautiful place to visit imperatively if you pass in the area. The guide was very nice, a good welcome and a place completely restored by volunteers, a big congratulations!

Ça ne semble pas payer de mine comme ça, mais il faut absolument faire la visite de la tour (superbement refaite) et du village très pittoresque.

Very nice work of restoration of the association and congratulations to all the volunteers for their involvement in the preservation of the heritage. I loved it and I would come back in good weather this time ?

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.
