Harmoniously positioned just outside the city of Mazzarino, I found the gate closed but the fence is "open", easy to reach. Nice beautiful

Structure of particular construction with a cylindrical tower which justifies its nickname "u cannuni" (the cannon) well maintained and clean. It's a shame that the ruins are small, but they allow us to imagine the grandeur and grandeur of the past. You can easily visit it without too much time.

Each castle deserves to be visited, because each castle has a unique charm, history and legend. Unfortunately it's closed... but there's a hole in the net that allows you to enter and visit it.

One of the most particular castles in Sicily is precisely this, the Mazzarrino castle, recommended to visit and easily accessible

The ruin is fenced and normally locked, but the fence has a big hole that you can easily get in. The castle has a tower, which unfortunately is also closed. But still worth watching.

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.
