It's not free to enter. I didnt ask about the price, i only stood at the entry and took this photo. It's all you can do for free?

We were there for the Brocante Market, which was well stocked and well laid-out. Very lovely grounds, beautiful castle and the restaurant had a great atmosphere, befitting the castle. Attentive friendly and helpful staff despite the overload in clients due to the event. Will visit the castle and grounds again to take a look inside and sample the restaurant some more.

Original idea to go through this castle on your own pace and with an audio tour. When we visited, we were the only visitors and our kids really enjoyed the tour and the mysterious atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely privately owned castle that can be visited most days of the week. The current owners actually live here and are in the ever ongoing proces of restoring it. Tickets van be bought at the restaurant near the castle, you actually get a key to the front gate ..... a special touch.

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.
