Great place for a walk and taking some pictures. It’s also at the top of the hill so it’s a good workout. A few nice historic building nearby as well.

Gorgeous church from the outside. Absolutely perfect from every angle. There's not much to see inside - It feels more like a community center than a historic special space. It is located on a small hill between the houses, near also a children's playground. I highly recommend nearby the restaurant Meatballs for the people it's about 5 minutes walk from the church - you can taste meatballs of all kinds of meat here

Sofia kyrka looks like a slott, the special arrangement is the chairs, arranged the same shape along with the kyrka.

Disappointing and unpleasant... Feels more like a pocket shop than a church and they won't let you use the bathroom either.

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.
