I am mostly in Ramnes Church in connection with funerals. No later than March 2024. The church creates a particularly dignified and historic framework around any marking of life's important events. You feel like you are stepping into history when you enter. The church is one of the many old stone churches from the Middle Ages that we are lucky enough to have in Vestfold. If you haven't visited it yet, a visit must be made immediately!

November 8, 2021 is a very sad day. A girl, dressed and named as a boy, “C.J.,” as she was commonly known at Horten VGs school and by her local community, was yet another victim of the norwegian system. Every year, many other girls and boys take their own lives, after being placed in a "perfect norwegian foster-family", brainwashed by Janteloven. This isn't shown in the newspapers! Why did the case workers from barneverntjenester didn't care nor do they report the abuses she was going through inside that "perfect bonus-family"? She might be in a better place now, relieved! Rest in peace!

Cozy and intimate church. Lots of history in the walls here.

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.
