Collegiate Church

Dobre Miasto, Poland

The Gothic collegiate complex built from 1357–1389, with a splendid church, on which Pope John Paul II conferred the title of minor basilica (1989). Undoubtedly, one of the biggest tourist attractions beside the magnificent interior and furnishings of the church is the organ with 49 tones and 3522 pipes. The former capitulary library houses a parish museum, which is open to visitors. It contains the remains of the old outfit of the collegiate. Unfortunately, the rich vault as well as the collection of books and manuscripts largely scattered after World War II.

A very nice place. The basilica and its surroundings are very green - lots of trees and bushes. Peace and quiet - you can calm down.

An impressive testimony to the presence of the Teutonic state. "They had the momentum."

The biggest monument in Dobre Miasto. City walls are obligatory + walk in the park along the Łyna

Impressive church. Sad that it was closed.

Grzegorz Szaliński (3 years ago)
A majestic temple in the brick Gothic style characteristic for this region. The furnishings are breathtaking - altars, statues, a pulpit, a baptismal fence, stalls, paintings - masterpieces of Gothic, Late Gothic and Baroque created over the course of several centuries. In the courtyard of the adjoining buildings, there is a well-kept patio surrounded by stylish cloisters.

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.
