A modest but modern museum. Friendly staff and modern exposition. Cool souvenirs. We were happy we went.

Naval museum building is full of army ship and different kind of pirate ship prototypes. Some of them has descriptions in English about what it is and for some of the pirate ships, it was in Polish. Outside building, they have kept quite lot of mighty tankers, missiles and Artilleries for display. You can just stroll around if you have nothing much planned for the day,

First of all, it’s more convenient to come to the museum during weekdays - you will face with less amount of people. However, the tickets on that weekend were free( surprisingly ), but there wasn’t any queues to entry to the museum, thankfully. The museum itself is very interactive and simple at the same time. The main exhibitions - inside and outside - contain the full-scale models of naval equipment: mines, missiles, guns and cannons etc. It has only 2 flours + additional flour with models of really old sail vessels. Mostly everything has English captions. Then, after inside part, you are welcome to enter the outside exhibition: several full-scale machines like plane, submarine, several tracks stand there and wait for visitors. Best place for kids, especially boys. Also, when I was visiting the museum, there were several old-fashioned cars in front of the museum - cool attraction definitely!

There are a lot of things but nothing stands out. Should be an interesting place for curious children though

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.
