Pleasant space with lots of things you didn't think you needed. Coffee and waffles downstairs. The service is top notch?.

Very good, the guys who collect are absolutely superb. Those who organize pick-up could have had a little better communication.

We were greeted by the lovely aroma of waffles when we entered. Very tidy premises which piqued our curiosity. Clear rooms that were signposted. Was looking for a round dining table, didn't find this this time. But took a waffle and coffee. Made me want to go straight home and clean, because the thought that what is just lying around taking up space at home can be useful for others. Did something to me. Worth a visit!

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.
