Legacy of a border era from which the pasture, the olive grove and the buildings remain that make Sierra Mágina a unique place in a beautiful Natural Park.

Completely demolished, you have to use a lot of imagination to see a castle there. Above the road is very bad and narrow.

It is a magical and beautiful place with incredible views of a sea of olive trees. What happens is that they have to take good care of it and restore it, which makes it necessary to take care of our cultural heritage

If you want to delve into history with your imagination and dream what life was like in the countryside in the past, here you will find an ideal place to let your imagination fly, jumping between the stones of the walls that have fallen and those that still resist undo what in other times was doing. Today crumbling, lost and forgotten by the passage of time and new social modes. Do not resist diving for yourself, nor seek fatuous help. You can fine.

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.
