Sofia Albertina Church, Landskrona, Sweden

The construction of Sofia Albertina Church began in 1754 by the design of Carl Hårleman and it was inaugurated in 1788. It is named after the sister of Gustav III of Sweden. Sofia Albertina replaced the medieval church from the 1400s. The church has unusual design, because it has two towers but it's not a cathedral of bishop's seat.

The font dates from the 12th century. It was a used as a fountain in local family's garden until they noticed its value. Chandeliers were moved from the old church and they date from the 1600s.

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.
