Landed here on the way to Anfredsro Gård, nice place with cozy nature.

Beautiful part of Skåne, especially now that everything is green. If you're lucky, you might see red deer when you drive through here. The Lodge is nearby if you fancy a spa day.

Björnstorp's annual Christmas market is an event to look forward to every year! We never miss it.

Kate Petersen (2 years ago)
The Christmas market was disappointing, there were too many people, too few sales to really look like it was Christmas, and no 'real' food you could buy for lunch, despite the cafe and food stalls...

Unjustified entry fee of SEK 60. Didn't buy anything at the Christmas market, there were few things that attracted and quite commercial

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.
