Worth a visit if you're passing by. The best picture of the castle is probably from the carpark! A well maintained stepped path leads up to the entrance but once inside the ground is rough with very limited access.

It's a nice castle to visit. Entry is free and it gives you an amazing panorama view. Parking is possible near the castle.

Free Historical Experience with Stunning Views and a really cute little Cafe for refreshments afterwards, as you may get a little sweaty from the heat and the walking/climbing. Excellent Architecture and beautiful views all the way around, inland and sea.

Worth the drive but be careful of steps and rocks if you climb up to castle, you will need good shoes and water! Also rest at bar after, nice ace with toilet.

Awesome place to visit, watch your step when walking, almost fell 40 feet to the ground. Great place for picturesque views!

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.
