My second visit to the historical estate. The cuisine is worth travelling for (1 1/2 hours in my case). Cozy dining rooms offering nostalgic ambience. Excellent.

Very nice place, but if the owner is behind the counter, run away. Very slow, and rude in addition. No sense of service and respect.

Really nice castle my girlfriends sister took us to to have lunch. Nice personnel, nice atmosphere upstairs, with a fireplace, and great food, especially the Fika! I loved the chocolate cake (one of the best) and the lemon pie was great too. And my toast with cantharels was nice too (a bit hard to find the truffel, but didn’t miss it). The entrance is uphill, so maybe a bit hard for elderly people!

Such a classic setting and dogs are welcome. I absolutely loved it.

Weird vibes within the working environment there, something not right. Crazy prices and the coffee is from a machine where you press a button.... Super nice environment though especially in summer

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.
