Väl värd att svänga förbi när man är i närheten.

Adressen "Hangvar Bäcks 216" är felaktig. Har hur länge som helst försökt att ändra men det går inte. Hangvar Bäcks 216 är min privata adress och jag bor inte vid ödekyrkan. Är trött på alla bilar som kör fel.

Die Kirche wurde Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts gebaut. Erhalten ist noch der Kalksteinaltar.

Lite spännande plats för barnen. Fint ffa på våren/försommaren.

Trevlig plats att stanna till vid. Dock inget man tar en längre omväg för.

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.
