Lovely place to stop for a light lunch or fika. Plenty of parking, on a pretty lake, but we didn't find a toilet. Dog friendly and nice atmosphere and monastery ruins to see.

Lovely cafe by the lake. We stopped for lunch -- a small, but elegant selection of sandwiches of which my family had one each and all were well satisfied. When we left, we found our car wouldn't start. Maria helped us contact someone to help and averted our emergency. She was our guardian angel!

Perfect stop for a fresh sallad or a healthy sandwich or a coffee and cake. Beautiful situated by a lake where it is possible to go for a swim. Gluten-free, sugar-free and dairy free options available. Delicious sallad adapted to suit food allergies.

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.
