Very nice knight's castle from the outside. Privately owned and therefore cannot be viewed from the inside.

It can be reached along an easy and shady path in the woods, which in the first part runs alongside the course of the Rienza. It dates back to the 12th century and belonged to the feudal lords of the bishop of Bressanone. Towards 1380 the counts of Gorizia took over. During the War of the Tyrol it was destroyed twice. In 1812 it was sold to the priest Josef Hauptmann, whose descendants are the current owners. The adjacent chapel is dedicated to Saint Kummemus and is very popular. The castle cannot be visited. From the plateau in front of it you can admire a beautiful panorama that reaches up to Kronplatz.

A beautiful castle that can only be seen from the outside because it is privately owned, unfortunately

Proprietà privata, con tanto di cartello. Non visitabile agli interni. Per questo motivo non ci sono gli orari di visita. Ci sono solo delle passeggiate. I padroni sono poco cordiali, state alla larga da loro!

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.
