Don't go here. The owner is Wonna I de Jong, a notorious landlord who also deals in drugs according to Aftonbladet. Why favor someone like that?

Sad to see how yxtaholm fell into disrepair after de Jong acquired the place, deplorable

So wonderfully nicely renovated, lovely surroundings with the possibility of walking, swimming and horse riding with the "Prince's Arabs". Hope that the castle will soon be used in some way, there are so many opportunities to create business here.

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.
