Fantastic regional museum. Admission is free. Has a variety of exhibits including displays of early and modern history of the area. Also galleries with the work of local artists. Nice cafe, which looks out over the river.

What a pearl Uddevalla has produced here, something of interest for all tastes. I felt I learned so much about the history of this fascinating area covering many hundreds of years,it definitely shows how resilient mankind is & how it can overlive not just 1 disaster but many and come out of it stronger & more prosperous. On top of the exhibition it also has a wonderful small restaurant producing food of all varieties out of the norm, do not miss the total experience of this wonderful museum

A diverse, well displayed and interesting museum centrally located in what is otherwise a non-descript town. It's free to enter and there is plentiful and good value pay and display parking on its doorstep, toilets, a small restaurant and shop. I'd guess about 30% of the information is also in English, but the highly visual nature of many of the exhibitions makes this a good visit for kids, especially on a day the weather isn't all that great.

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.
