Actually only wanted to turn around in the parking lot because someone has already complained that it was a private parking lot. There are hobbies. Then please also mark it. I looked again and there was a tiny label on the edge. After all, didn't want to turn around in front of the castle. Would have been more appropriate. For those interested in the castle: Looked closed. So better inform in advance.

You can only see it from the outside, it's privately owned

Nice castle. Unfortunately privately owned. Rude host. Wanted to park with our car and dog in the gravel parking lot behind to go for a walk and were unfriendly sent away. If it's private (we had overlooked the sign, who also thinks that a castle belongs to a private person), that's not a problem in itself, but you can also express your concerns in a friendly manner.

Looks interesting from outside, but it is privately owned so you will not be able to see the inside.

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.
