Cudowny kościół. Bylem w nim od dziecka niestety wiele się zmieniło do dzisiaj. Pierwsze zabrany obraz MB na oś. Kopernika pytam jakim prawem !!!!!! Pamiętam cudownego organistę i jego żonę którzy grali tak że mimo będąc dzieckiem ciarki przechodziły. Ludzie na nowenny przyjeżdżali ze śląska dla organisty i atmosfery kościoła. Dzisiaj byłem tam na chrzcinach cóż z dawnego kościoła został on sam ... dźwięk z organ już nie ten partacz przy klawiszach księża słabo dbający np. o ołtarz który widać jest mocno brudny. Postawiony tron przed ołtarzem dla księdza który ukrywa się za nim przed parafianami.... pewnie w imię Covida :) skończyła się tajemniczość przeżyć z tym miejscem. Szkoda.

The parish my family has been associated with for several generations. The cubature of the church and the organ are impressive.

It is a pity that the pandemic dispersed and divided the faithful which affected the power of faith. It's a pity, because it won't come back. And the new parish priest spared no money for heating the church

A wonderful Holy place. A unique atmosphere. Saturday - Adoration combined with confession. Worth visiting not only for practicing Catholics but for everyone who appreciates places that are our heritage. Because the future of the world lies not in leftist ideology, but in God and faith.

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.
