Great little fortress with amazing views over the valley! The path is not well maintained so be wary of that.

Nice old castle Ruins! Good to wander and walk around. I recommend stopping at the restaurant by for a coffee break or even to have lunch! People are very nice and helpful. If they can't speak english they will try somehow to help you in any case.

Clean Mountain air and you can see the whole town from the top. It's a historical place worth visiting. Unfortunately a lot of rubbish everywhere.

Beautiful place to visit.. you can get there with the car and you can see the the whole city from up there. Just an advise.. careful where you go with the car as you might miss the right turn like I did ? enjoy and try to get up there at sunset or at sunrise.. the light is amazing for photography lovers like myself

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.
