Coming for a wedding, we discovered an enchanting place. Some of us were lucky enough to sleep there. The reception room is breathtaking: in a barn or outbuilding, intertwined beams, a dirt floor (and not dusty), a wooden stage for the young dancers, acoustics which even allowed me not to complain about my hearing difficulties. And then, just before the meal, we had a storm like there often is in the south. These old towers surrounded by lightning are an enchanting spectacle. Gorgeous. A huge advantage for receptions: far from any home, you will not fear seeing the constabulary arriving even if you are too noisy after 3 or 4 a.m.

Always warm and original welcome. History and the current owners reveal the places with numerous testimonies (documents, costumes, furniture, crockery, portraits). Heritage Days

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.
