Absolutely grand!! The chap who let me in was super informative, and gave me loads of history before actually turning on the mill and letting me see firsthand how it works. Absolutely wonderful, and highly recommended.

Visited this lovely little water mill today, Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the history very well including the origin of certain phrases. Well worth a visit if you're in the area!

Very informative talk from staff member. Started the mill up for us and went into great detail about the position of the mill, it's importance in the community and how it all worked. Very interesting and definitely worth s visit. And as a bonus we got some cooking apples and nadexa lovely eve's pudding that evening.

Lovely little mill. The place was so tranquil and peaceful. So quiet, We could hear the birds singing the whole time. Lots of little paths to have a wonder by the river. The mill itself had an interesting history and the volunteer (regrettably cannot recall his name), responsible for the tour, was very friendly and accommodating. Fairly priced coffee too which just happened to be delicious.

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.
