After registering in advance via smartphone, there is an appointment for a visit. The castle is privately built and it has been very well done. Nice people and the best information. Recommendable.

A beautiful, rustic, historic and well-preserved moated castle in an idyllic location. A perfect backdrop for great photos. What impressed me even more were the lords of the castle. They are nice and always helpful and lovely people. Thank you for a great and unforgettable day with a medieval and romantic atmosphere.

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.
