St. Mary's Chapel is a chapel dating from the 12th century on the island of Wyre. Little is known about this chapel, which presumably was founded by Kolbein Hruga or his son Bjarni. The chapel consists of a rectangular room with the entrance to the chapel on a short side facing west. A smaller room, which is almost square in shape, is attached to the east side of the chapel. This area is only accessible from the first departure. The building is constructed entirely of stone.
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.
