Lovely from the outside. Unfortunately it was closed. Sad that many mosques are closed outside of prayer times. However the new side area was open for prayers

The voice of the muezin is nice. I heard the call for pray (aznan) at noon and I really liked it.

One of the most beautiful and one of the oldest mosques in the Balkans, built at 1506 year by the Ottomans. Definitely must-to-visit place in Bitola , where the past and the present join together in one monument with emphasized history and architecture!

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.
