I was treated with extreme rudeness and disrespect from the woman at the entrance to the special exhibit. I politely asked how much a ticket would cost, if it was free, and where I could buy one. Apparently these simple questions offended her, and rather than answering me, she sarcastically insulted me and continued with degrading comments. I've never experienced anything like this at a museum anywhere in the world. I was expecting to enjoy a pleasant day visiting museums in Bratislava, and this really soured my impression. Despite buying a ticket later, I only visited the main hall and not the special exhibit, because I didn't want to interact with this angry, troubled person again. I wonder why a museum would employ someone so disrespectful and unwilling to answer questions from visitors.

Nice and interesting museum we could go up to the Tower it was beautiful. Then, at one point, there is an interaction game puzzle in one room. My daughter sat on the side cupboard with all the pieces, and I understand now that it was not allowed, even though it wasn't written anywhere. One lady with long blond hair came in the room shouting at us, We understood this was not allowed, but the manner was totally out of order. She also reprehend us because we left some pieces of the puzzle on the board (while trying which one would fit) and also got upset shouting because some pieces overlap each other in the board (?) . We were completely astonished by the manner and the rudeness of this lady, my child had ADHD started to cry as she was completely shocked and petrified.

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.
