The farm can only be visited by appointment. There is a path around the castle, very imposing. And the goats like it there too: D

It's a shame that we can't visit ?

Unfortunately, this time I cannot rate correctly A large number of white signs hang on the (wide open) main gate. Suggestion: a simple "entry prohibited for unauthorized persons" would be more understandable for everyone than a sign with a penalty of over 500 EUR for non-compliance with corona measures and a "only access for guided tours". Unfortunately, there is no information about when these will take place. So it is not necessarily immediately understandable that not even the site is allowed to be entered.

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.
