We saw it from the outside and it was beautiful, it's a shame it was closed

I have visited the entire convent except the tower, a shame because the view will be great. Everything is very nice and well cared for.

Semi-closed to the public, exterior and comfortable environment to route

Very pretty. Next door is the Poor Museum of the Painter which is wonderful. It is free and the person who has painted all the pictures is a charm, he explains to you in detail that he wanted to reflect on each one of them. Do not miss it.

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.
