Very good cake, very nice people and great view, no entrance fee. Close to a small playground. Definitely recommend it

Not really what one expects of a Burg. More like a Youth Hostel in the middle of a peacefull forest. Hardly anything of a Burg left. More like a viewing platform. .

Very nice place to visit. Parking is 5 min away from it. There is a volley ball field and a rope slide and bbq by the parking. There is a small coffee place in the castle where they sell cake, coffee and beer.

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.
