Very atmospheric with lights around the graves outside the church. It's extra nice when it's dark outside. The church is very beautiful inside with, among other things, a magnificent altarpiece and stately chandeliers, which hang down from the ceiling. The size of the church is just enough to hear what is said during services and masses.

Beautiful stone church in fantastic lakeside surroundings. The church is located along the winding village street with well-preserved houses from different ages. Well worth a visit

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.
