A nice stop if you're passing by. We did have to pay for the parking lot, not sure if that's usual or just some local kids trying to make an extra buck during their holiday. From the parking lot it's a litte hike uphill to the actual castle. Didn't visit the castle itself but from the outside you can already see most of the ruin.

Original wall of the central tower; exhibitions and makets on each floors; tomb of the former landlord Kinizsi P.; magnificent landscape.

From outside it looks small but you can spend easily more than an hour inside

Amazing view from the top of the tower. They will start a major refurbishment soon, so go and see while you can!

Seeing a historical Castle is always amazing me. The surroundings and the view is very nice. Small parking area; however, we arrived just before the closing (one hour before 5 pm) there were no problem to find a place to park. In addition received 10% discount. It is a must to see.

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.
