Site with a grandiose landscape. Deserves further maintenance, I imagine that the gardener's budget must already be substantial. Thank you for allowing us access to this beautiful park.

A real pleasure to walk there regularly, a resident of Bécherel access is free, for those who have to pay € 7 know that in no case they are stolen. This monument has the merit of being preserved, the maintenance of the park is irreproachable

Beautiful park with many perspectives. Impressive view of the valley. A lung of greenery for very hot days.

Maintained. Multiple discrete places ... Too bad the trees can not tell everything they have witnessed! .. Retained its original aspects.

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.
