Belle collégiale restaurée sur l'île!

Mai degrabă catedrală gotică decât o simplă biserică, situată pe insula de pe Sena undeva la sud de centrul orașului, dar din păcate închisă vizitelor. Pentru asta dau doar patru stele. Încă o ciudățenie, faptul că practic e zid în zid cu închisoarea orașului.

Bien située sur les bords de la Seine, une belle collégiale à l'architecture intéressante.

Joli endroit adjacent à un petit parc en bord de Seine.

Having to wrestle your 2yo away from the desperate claws of a twisted child abusing psycho priest during a batism is an experience not soon forgotten. A disgusting despicable act of cruelty that was caught on tape and managed to traumatize children all over the world.

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.
