Sterrenberg Castle

Kamp-Bornhofen, Germany

By 1034, Sterrenberg was being mentioned as an imperial castle, but the source is not certain. In 1190, Sterrenberg Castle is listed in the book of Werner von Bolanden as a fief, together with the custom point in Bornhofen. The noble family of Bolanden stayed as lords of Sterrenberg Castle until the second half of the 13th century. From this early period, the bergfried and the first, inner shield wall have survived.

It is really an experience to visit both castles. Sterrenberg Castle consists mainly of a castle ruin and the possibility to eat and drink something. The view from both castle ruins is simply overwhelming. With this castle ruin, the keep is simply a must and is open until 6 p.m. If you want to eat something with an extremely beautiful view, you've come to the right place. However, the Sterrenberg ruins are a lot larger than the Liebenstein ruins. It was a very nice day ?????

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.
