Pros: parking for free, English speaking staff, cheap, wc available, small shop, 1 big hall with old cars and 1 smaller room with car-toys, interesting for kids especially for boys... Cons: a little bit cold inside, only a few vehicle brands, no English notes

Great shed of vintage and soon to be vintage vehicles to see and explore. To be fair it was a more diverse mix of vehicles than I expected with not just European cars but also many American cars. Bit pricey admission fee considering it is not that large. Also it is literally just an area for you to walk through with no special exhibits or anything.

An amazing place for car enthusiasts. In a side room you can explore models, toys and professional vehicle models. In the main hall, there are already concrete vehicles. For me, the coolest vehicle was the Citroen 2CV, the same vehicle used by the nun in "The Troops of St. Tropez". Tropez" (and the other parts of the gendarme) :-). If you find a moment, it's worth a visit here.

Really good visit, greeted by a lovely lady at reception. A fare price and a large collect of model and full size cars.

Interesting collection of mainly French vehicles, ranging from pre-war to early 90s. It was a hot day and being in what is essentially a warehouse building, was quite warm inside (too much for my better half). Would be good if there were English translations for the descriptions, but overall interesting and quirky, worth €10 entry if you're a car fan.

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.
