You cannot visit the castle but on the other hand the walks in the forest and in the park of the castle are very nice, it is maintained, there are toilets at the entrance and a beautiful lake.

Very warm welcome, enriching visit with a guide who perfectly masters her subject, rich in information and anecdotes. We highly recommend a break with a nice walk around the castle.

Wonderful visit with Joëlle whom we thank! We have traveled through the ages since the construction of the castle and we could have imagined ourselves there, it was so well told. Very beautiful site, magnificent decoration and furniture and abundant anecdotes... Essential for those curious about history...and those who are not yet...

Lots to discover, all the rooms on the ground floor, fully furnished and decorated in the 18th century. A very interesting guided tour. The Park is accessible free of charge, with ponds and a forest

Very pretty place. The visit of the castle and its story told form a beautiful parenthesis.

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.
