Thomas was a very good speaker for this very interesting guided tour. The castle has some beautiful furniture and some beautifully crafted pieces. A visit to the very well maintained garden closes this beautiful visit.

Very beautiful castle, facade in very good condition, magnificent chapel, nice guide, presentation a little too close to the messages he wishes to convey, it's a shame because it lacks spontaneity and fluidity. We forgive him he arrived if we understood correctly at the beginning of August he needs this time of adaptation necessary for everyone.

Very beautiful castle, whose passionate owner has maintained the atmosphere, the decoration of yesteryear! The guided tour made by a young student was very pleasant

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.
