Pretty church where I lived beautiful and less beautiful moments. I like its interior by being discreet but imposing. The environment is pretty. Glad the work is done

Beautiful church from the outside but what a disappointment to see the access closed. For a place of meditation, it's a shame especially without a word or explanation on the door.

Very beautiful, well restored church On the other hand, it is very difficult to park and let's not talk about the places reserved for the disabled which are inaccessible !!!

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.
