Kiviloo was founded as an Episcopal castle in 1413. The few ruins of the Episcopal castle (destroyed in the Livonian War in 1558) can be seen even at present. The current eclectic manor house (in private possession) was built during the ownership period of the von Stackelbergs in about 1906-1910 (the earlier wooden structure was burnt down in 1905).

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.
