Very dilapidated monument, closed to the public. A heritage that is not highlighted and its occupant the BNF obviously does not take care of it. It's deplorable...

Very pretty park around the castle with very old trees. You can observe garden creepers, tits and squirrels.

Very difficult to keep such a building in good condition! Very nice house (exterior views only) but needs a severe renovation.

Jeanne was very welcoming, the gite was great with very large grounds providing plenty of space for the children to play. The pool was well used and we enjoyed the open fire on the one wet day we had. We loved our week there and would go again.

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.
