A very beautifully maintained castle along De Kromme Rijn. There is a large garden around it that could use some maintenance. If you drive along the main road from W.b.D towards Bunnik, the castle shines on the right side of the road.

Beautiful walks possible around Beverweerd Castle. The castle grounds are currently "no trespassing". That doesn't matter for the walk. Walked via clog paths. Largely also accessible with a dog on a leash. Approximately 5 kilometers. Had lunch at Landrucci, a charming, somewhat Italian farm shop with a covered veranda.

Worth the effort. Visited an exhibition by Gert Jan Jansen. Beautiful building in a beautiful location. Lots of history. Beautiful estate. The paintings of this master forger are also a journey through (art) history.

Always nice to see the great collection of paintings by master copied Janssen. Impressive that someone masters so many painting styles.

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.
