Nice place

Horbelev church is without a doubt the church in Denmark that has the best priest in Denmark ? Mette Marie is always well behaved and accommodating to everyone ? The church is always decorated with flowers and lights ?? there is a fantastic atmosphere in the church, it feels nice to be in church. The church is opposite the vicarage and a small forest. Very beautiful church and cemetery, the cemetery is always neat and tidy ? definitely a visit, especially if Mette Marie holds a church service, Mette Marie can light up an entire church room with her fantastic aura. ? if all churches had a priest, like Mette Marie, the churches would quickly be full. ? We thank you on behalf of us and our nurse, for your attendance ?

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.
