A splendid nuraghe abandoned to itself in the Plaaghe countryside, it deserves greater interest

Completely closed up, all access fenced and wired off. Such a waste of a journey on very rough terrain.

I think it is an underrated nuraghe and that it should be enhanced more, perhaps by arranging the roads in the area better and cutting the grass, so that you can better enjoy the beauty of this single tower.

Dead end. And unfortunately not accessible

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.
