If you want local fish, this is the place! Eel was excellent! The terrace has amazing view to the castle and service was good. They were willing to change according to our preferences. Also kid's menu was good. Also other dishes than fish were great on the menu.

Super excited about this place! Impressed with the sense of aesthetics. The food was both attractive and delicious. Just a real symphony of tastes with the castle in the background. I enjoyed the interior and all the details. Service was fast and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service, good choice with several catch of the day to choose from included filleted and whole fish. Cooked perfectly and good drinks to choose from - both beer and wine. Standout dish is an appetizer - The Fish Plate comprising of 8 components, all to die for and accompanied by bread.

Awful restaurant, would never recommend or visit it again! You can MAXIMUM take a cup of coffee to enjoy the view of the medieval castle. Expensive, untasty, poor service.

Came here for a drink after visiting the castle. Standard prices for the area, did not try the food. Staff were attentive and we were able to choose to sit inside or outside. Great location overlooking the castle.

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.
