Ammende Villa

Pärnu, Estonia

Villa Ammende is one of the best examples of early art nouveau style in Estonia. The grand villa with a large garden was built in 1905 and belonged to the Ammende merchant family. The façades and interiors of the house were abundant, rich in detail and diverse, but also very stylish. The family went bankrupt after the First World War and the villa was sold to Pärnu City. The house has been used as a summer casino and a club. The villa has now been restored and turned into a luxurious hotel and restaurant, and it looks more stylish and art nouveau than even before. Concerts and art exhibitions are often held in the villa and guests can also enjoy its beautiful green garden.

Super staff and amazing service, nice and elegant rooms and extra points goes to breakfast. This is really something, where a morning bubble is also offered. You can choose warm breakfast from the menu and my omelet with goat cheese was huge. The art nouveau building and garden around it are amazing.

Villa Ammende is an awesome art deco Villa with exceptional interior. On the night we came they had a fixed three course concert menu which was most delightful. Also, we got an outstanding service. On top we got a personal guided tour to the awesome building and all its beauty. Next time we go to Paernu we plan to stay at the Villa Ammende. We can certainly recommend it Claude

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.
