Château de Buzet-sur-Baïse was built originally in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th century. There was actually two castles on the site and the church. Castles were burned down in 1293-1294 by the English army. Today the oldest parts date from the late 13th century. The chateau was restored in the 17th century. With its outbuildings and its park, it was acquired in 2018 by the Buzet winegrowers cooperative cellar and must occasionally host cultural or festive events. It is not open to visitors.
Until then, the old 13th century castle chapel, altered in the 16th century, served as a parish church. Decommissioned after part of the vault collapsed in 1849, its remains remain.
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.
