We went to church for confirmation. However, I could not see the pastor at the altar, because the benches are in the large octagonal room in the middle and I have no idea what the pastor said, because the sound from the pastor and the speakers was good enough .. But while sitting there, waiting for it all to be over, you can spend the time looking at the really nice vaults in the ceiling, which are made of wood. If one takes the time to examine the church and its history properly, then I am sure it can be a really exciting excursion.

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.
