The castle itself is small and not open for visitors bit the surroundings is amazing! A lot of nature, nice forest which is sorry beautiful during the autumn. There is also coffee shop nearby and ski resort.

In bad condition and could be seen only from outside. Worth to visit only if you are riding through bicycle Trail of the Eagle Nests.

Ruins of the castle which is embedded in the stone. Quite an impressive view. Unfortunately, you cannot go inside as it's permanently closed. If it was renovated as the Bobolice castle, it would be an amazing attraction. Fingers crossed ?!

Very nice place with good infrastructure. There is a parking, toilets and nice cafe with good sausages and pancakes. There are many nice paths nearby through the forest.

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.
