It's a beautiful old castle and the entry price isn't too bad. Pay once and you have until closing to walk around and explore all you want. There's plenty of parking and there's also a little shop you can have a look around in

This castle was worth the trip with all the old rooms and the historic sights. It is a bit expensive to get in but parking is just nearby. In 2022 you have to have a little parking slip in your car though. It is available in the stores and small businesses around the town. Quite an impressive place.

It's really nice. Nice view. In the Castle, love the craft work of the furniture.

The biggest surprise of road trip around Öster Götaland . Very underrated location which even not many Swedes know, but it’s so worth visiting. It went on a guided tour which was also ok. I recommend to book ticket in 1-2day advance because they were already sold out on the morning of the day I visited the castle.

Cozy little town, with a simple playground for kids. Worth a visit if you are nearby or if it's a long your route. Some historical places to visit and some local shops.

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.
