Kerzerho Megaliths

Erdeven, France

There are 195 megaliths in Kerzerho, aligned east to west. They extend over 200 metres in 5 rows. Dating from between 5,000 to 2,000 BC, they have of course suffered over the years. In fact only a few centuries ago there were 1130 stones in 11 rows: the structure must have been 2 kilometres long by 65 metres wide.

What a surprise to be driving along the street and seeing these Menhirs.

Kerzerho offers an impressive alignment of megaliths that truly conveys a sense of power and history. While not as massive as Carnac, I found it just as captivating. Among the megaliths, there are a few towering at around 3 meters in height. It's a fascinating site that's well worth a visit for anyone interested in ancient history and the mysteries of these ancient stones.

A really nice historic place. I must been very important for Keltic peoples or for Obelix?. Never saw such a huge amount of Megalith stones.

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.
