literally nothing interesting, it's definitely not worth paying 30 kroner for it. maximum 10 minutes of sightseeing

When we visited the museum, we had an unpleasant surprise. There was no light! Due to the presence of only an automatic ticket counter (connected to electricity), I witnessed someone buying tickets for 90 DKK thinking that this would turn on the light. Well no.

Fascinating museum. Quite normal at the beginning but when you enter the tour through one family history it turns out to be perfect. Amazing place

It's a small museum but it provides plenty of information about early Århus. The cost is low but you learn a lot. I don't think it would be interesting to very small children as there is much to read and little interactive parts.

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.
