St. Peter's church

Lieto, Finland

The Lieto Church was built probably in the end of 15th century. The earliest record of Lieto parish dates back to the year 1331, when local vicar Pietari (Peter) was a witness in tax trial between Turku bishop and Häme (Tavastia) people. The stone church represents simple Finnish church architecture. The belfry was added in 1766 and the Neo-Gothic styled apse in 1902.

Really beautiful church. The altar nicely in the middle of the church. It is worth going to the events.

It was a relaxing yoga of silence. When lying on the floor, the ceiling paintings and vaults of the church are poorly visible. It's good that the church space can be used in different ways for quieting down.

There is enough parking space in and around the yard. Renovated inside, causes confusion because there are no benches, but chairs that form a circle, especially the odd ones that seek the so-called places in the back seat suddenly find themselves next to the pulpit. You will get to the middle of the events and a surprisingly positive surprise.

Current seating arrangement is a bit unorthodox..

The renovated church in Lieto looks really wonderful.

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.
