Incredibly beautiful church with ancient origins. If you sit at the front, it is unfortunately difficult to see what happened in front of the altar.

On of many white chalked churches that you find around Skåne. The original church was built here already around 1100. The cemetery has some cultural story graves with QR codes so you can listen to background stories. The church is at the outer city border of Lund with a beautiful surrounding of fields and farmlands. A visit can be combined with a walk to Nöbbe mosse. In these areas the final part of the battle of Lund to place along the kävlingevägen 1676. More then 9000 danish and Swedish soldiers died in the battle.

Vallkärra church was built in the 12th century in Romanesque style. The church was renovated in the 19th century by the famous architect Brunius. One of the church's bells hangs today in the belfry at Bosebo church on Kulturen. Those who are interested in military history look south towards Nöbbelöv's church and then see the field where the final battle during the battle of Lund took place in 1676. The Danes entrenched themselves around the church before they burned down Vallkärra village and retreated further north towards Landskrona.

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.
