Lindesberg Church

Lindesberg, Sweden

The earliest known traces of a Lindesberg town are in the foundations of the 14th century stone church and Cistercian abbey. The current church was built in 1658, but it suffered badly of great fire in 1869. The church was reconstructed to the current appearance in 1872.

After a wonderful midnight mass at the Christmas eve given by a joyful priest who greeted each guest in the hands and sanitised several times, on my way out I stood shortly in the fojer to wait for my family, only for an old man to come down by his nose first after missing a step because of the doors which stood half way open, I helped him up and to his walker. He didn't need more helo but a rest to calm down. But some how i couldn't shake off the thought about the absence of a ramp at the main entrance.

Stripped, ascetic church. Unfortunately, in terms of interior design, not the most beautiful of Bergslagen's churches!

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.
