Holy Trinity Church

Gävle, Sweden

The current Holy Trinity Church in Gävle was inaugurated in 1654. It replaced the medieval church destroyed by fire. It was restored in 1728 and the tower was added in 1779-1781. The church is best known of its altar and pulpit made by Ewerdt Friis (died in 1672). He is buried to the church. There is also a runestone called Söderbystenen in the porch. It was carved in the mid-1000s in honor of Egil, who was killed in a foray to Finland.

Charismatic farorz. He tries to bring Catholics from various corners of the world together as a cake after the service.

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.
