Not dog friendly

Great disappointment for this visit to a indeed very beautiful park but the cost is disproportionate to the expectation We traveled 300 km to see hydrangeas in bloom I do not advise and obviously the very limited number of visitors proves me right

Magnificent place! A must see ! Very well maintained English garden. Even if you can only visit the garden and the postern, the castle being private, it is well worth it! View of the sea in the distance!

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.
