Ponte Romana interessante a precisar de alguma manutenção, limpeza da vagetação

Imperdível! Lugar rico em natureza! E a minha sorte foi que estava chovendo o que trouxe um "ar" ainda mais medieval para o local.

Vale apena a visita muito embora não esteja bem identificada a sua localização. Merecia estar mais cuidado este local. Mas apesar de tudo não fiquei nada arrependido de ter visitado esta ponte. Bem pelo contrário.

Ponte construída na segunda metade do século XVIII por legado do padre João Soares Brandão e inserida num hambiente rural, bucólico e harmonioso, sobre o rio Coura. Trata-se de uma construção granitica de tabuleiro horizontal e rampa na margem esquerda, sobre três arcos de volta perfeita, um maior, junto à margem esquerda e dois de menores dimensões. Distingue-se por apresentar uns orifícios para facilitar o escoamento das águas para o rio. Durante a segunda metade do século XX recebeu obras de restauro que passaram pelo reforço das juntas e pela colocação de asfalto.

This is a neat little place to stop on the old national road between Valencia and Ponte de Lima. A very natural place with a pretty Roman bridge. Cafe nearby.

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.
