It is a truly beautiful church with beautifully restored ceiling paintings, and there are two special organs. Guides in church during the summer months can tell you much more about this. The church is free to enter, Tues-Fri 2 to 5 and Sat 1 to 4.

Why are those churches in the Netherlands always closed during the week? Take an example from Germany or Belgium.

Beautiful church. What is told on Sunday is also worth it. So not just for tourism ?

Church and main square of the beautiful town of Hattem.

Beautiful church with a true testimony through the life of Pastor Bernardus Hazen. Who took office in 1533 and despite all rejections continued to obey The Path of The Lord Jesus The Messiah and continued to follow His Will in spite of everything. An example for us all

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.
