Restoration and maintenance would not be luxury

Simple but very pretty church to see for its architecture and its history...

Superb church in Brevand. Going to the place where the church is built means understanding the life of the people of the country. We can say from the spiritual to the temporal that the landscape is worthy of the investment. It is a detour which offers breathtaking views of the beautiful Cotentin marshes and the basin. A particularity for this church is for those who will find the doors open, access to a small crypt unique in its kind. The Catholic church is dedicated to Saint Martin. Another moment of contemplation is the grave of a commonweal soldier. A liberator always in bloom, because here people do not forget freedom. .. A moment rich in emotion, a real detour...

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.
