Rumlaborg Castle Ruins

Huskvarna, Sweden

Rumlaborg castle was built around 1360 - the first written record dates from 1366. In 1434 it was burned down during the so-called Engelbrekt rebellion and rebuilt again in 1448 by Karl Knutsson Bonde.

It's always as nice to get there

Nice to walk around, a little shame that the Lusthuset looks very much included. But good with the benches around, where you can sit o look o philosophize ......

Historic medieval site that neither municipality nor any other state actor devoted any commitment to. Not even an information board.

Huskvarna's landmark .... ;-)

Historic site well worth a visit. The castle built in the 14th century for strategic function. More fact signs should, however, be set up in the park and hiking area. Among other things, the understanding had increased if its former appearance was illustrated on overview signs.

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.
