Ejby Church is an ancient medieval church, consisting of a Romanesque ship (from about 1150 - 1200) with Gothic east extension, to which, in the late Gothic era (around the year 1500), three extensions were added, namely tower, sacristy and porch. The baptismal font dates from around 1300. It is made of Gothic limestone and is equipped with engraved apostle and saint figures. The altarpiece was painted in 1596 and is of the canopy type with catechism boards. The pulpit, in cartilage baroque, dates from 1625.

Beautiful whitewashed village church, which is a feast for the eyes. The church was built around the year 1150 with a Gothic extension to the east. In late Gothic times (around 1500) 3 extensions were made: tower, sacristy and porch. The church passed into private ownership in 1911

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.
