Beautiful place to stay for a few days. Clean rooms, quiet also if on the backside. Breakfast sober but good enough. Dinner no surprises.

Interesting concept, we were in the tower suite and it was a very large and clean room. The view was nice too. However for what you get, I feel it's too expensive. The breakfast was OK, cold meats, cheeses, yoghurt, fruits and muesli style cereal. The only cooked item was scrambled egg or a boiled egg. We also ate at the restaurant and the food was tasty and cooked well, but again nothing special. I could have gone to a local small restaurant and had similar for a cheaper price. All in all, it's nice but not something I would say is a must see.

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.
