The nave and chancel of Godsted Church were built in the 13th century and the porch was added later. The Romanesque font is made of granite and is probably as old as the church. The pulpit dates from c. 1625 and altarpiece from 1825.

Godsted Church is mostly reminiscent of a small honeycomb church with pink glaze and white lace. The exact age of the Church cannot be established, but it is believed that it dates from 1150-1300 - that is, the time of the great church buildings throughout the country. A population that probably spoke less than half a million souls built over 2,000 churches in less than two hundred years. One of these was Godsted Church.

En flot lille lyserød kalket landsbykirke, som er bygget i perioden 1150-1300. Klokken er ophængt i en lille tagkvist med luger. Tidligere har den haft en klokkestabel. Kirken ligger i den lille landsby Godsted midt mellem voldstedet Ålevad og hovedgården Ulriksdal, som begge i middelalderen tilhørte biskoppen over Fyens Stift.

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.
