Very badly maintained castle, thought has potential. Not worth to come from far, unless if you pass by. Didn't stay in the hotel.

If I could, I would put zero. we arrived, there is a guy in front of us who doesn't understand English, I was even ready to speak Russian. Therefore, if you go there, be prepared that you won't get past the gate if you don't know Estonian.

This castle servers as hostel. It’s small inside, not much to see inside, also view from the upper tower is not interesting. It’s very nice from outside though. Definitely not worth 7 EUR entrance fee.

Cštle grounds are not very well kept.Entrance to the park is 3 eur but if you want to visit also castle than ticket is hefty 15 eur. Not worth it.

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.
