Dubrovnik Castle

Ilijaš, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Medieval Town of Dubrovnik is medieval fortress in the area of Višnjica, Ilijaš municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although there are no precise data on the origin of the city, it is assumed that it was built in the 13th century because it was first mentioned in the Dubrovnik archives, on July 11, 1404.

It is believed that the town was named after the medieval merchants from Dubrovnik who came in that period with the approval of the Bosnian king to exploit the mines of lead, zinc, gold and other precious materials.

While the work is progressing (albeit at a standstill for now) the old town is taking on what is likely to be a beautiful shape. Let's hope that it will have the contents that were there before, at least symbolically.

I decided to run to the medieval city of Dubrovnik, from Stari Ilijaš, across Misoča. Good trail. Great for running or cycling.

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.
