The doors were locked so we could not enter. But it is a nice view from the outside.

Mistra Ruins, perched on the mountain, accessed through narrow and winding poorly maintained roads, full of churches and monasteries. Although they are mostly destroyed, unfortunately. Our Evangelist is one of them. It is highly recommended to bring water in summer and a coat in winter. It goes without saying the need to wear protective sports shoes. There are parking spaces at both entrances, the first at the beginning of the city, at the foot of the mountain. A second, a third from the top and the king's palace. Admission costs 12 euros.

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.
