There’s no English explanations under every object which makes the museum boring. I liked it’s location

Its a good museum, however it would be better if there is an English translation for every part of the museum.

Really cool place to visit, first we were just going through but one worker asked us if we wanted an English tour through the museum. It was only 6 euro s for our own tour guide. Of course her English wasn't native but yet it was really interesting to see the history of Ukraine. And in my opinion they display it here really well

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.
