The museum building looks incredible!!! But it’s impossible to visit the museum, because it’s closed for renovation until 28.02.2023

Quite poor in both exhibits and curation and the staff seen not to know that their Museum is included for free in the tourist card. I did see the museum for free, it's free on a Saturday. A bit tough to find the entrance, I kept moving around for a few minutes until I found the entrance The whole place is old, probably not updated since Communism, most of the exhibits are in Polish only, some have English tags but the explanations are lacking, some very few Wikipedia type text describing what the Neolithic etc are The Sudan exhibit is very small but definitely interesting and you should definitely go to see that bit. As far as the rest is concerned, my main take is that very few has been found in the area of Gdansk because most of it was covered by ice :))

A place with huge potential that currently is not there. Superb location, interesting exhibition and good atmosphere. However, the exhibition was not really in a chronological order. The locale had very dated features that could easily be replaced for a better impression (lighting, signs etc). Not all exhibitions were in English which was a down side. I enjoyed it, but it is not perhaps for the casual museum goer.

Great and informative museum. The views from the top of the tower are epic. Highly advised!

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.
