The beautiful churches of the Sabugo neighborhood of Avilés... The imposing church of Santo Tomás de Canterbury or "new church of Sabugo" is a neo-Gothic style temple inaugurated in 1903. The two forty-seven meter high spire towers stand on it. Very pretty inside and out!

Beautiful cathedral.

Neo-Gothic style. Inaugurated in 1903. The two 47-meter needle towers and the portal stand out. Inside, don't miss the altarpieces and the organ, located in the choir. Free access.

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.
