It's a church true to the Norwegian form, finished 1150 with last major overhaul 1888 same as the weather vane say. It seat 550 and on Christmas Eve all is needed. The magical feeling when you enter the full church can not be described. "But be aware one a evening with full church it suppose to slide out in the river and kill all" (old saying) Well maintained cemetery frame the church, with old large trees and it's a peaceful place to reflect and ponder over life's small secrets. All honor to the caretaker, and pleas don't paint the church, flicking yes, full overhaul no.

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.
