The place is really nice and relaxing, the staff is friendly and kind. The bedroom was nice. The sauna area and deck is very nice, just the path to it lacks some signs and lights at night. The lounge is also really good.

A magical place, like taken from a fairytale! Start your visit with afternoon tea on the patio. Enjoy a warm sauna by the water with great views and a cold beer. Have a Michelin star classed meal with great wines, round off with a drink in one of the many salons and end the night in a really comfortable bed with views of the castle at night. You truly feel welcomed and like it is a home away from home.

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.
