A very special venue during the Jazz Festival

A litte bit of an archeologcal jumble. There are walls, and bits of pillar and statue, all set in a small park. Could do with better interpretation.

Pieces of history, how great a roman city was.

This is another addition to the history and heritage of this city. This archeological garden of Cybèle is an "open museum" with beautiful setting of timeless landscapes. Most intriguing is the portico still standing which may have been part of a Roman thermal bath? Or perhaps a wall of a Roman theatre? Beautiful setting attributed to the Galo-Roman history of this beautiful city of Vienne. There's benches here and dog friendly (as long as it's on a leash and clean up its business after), and definitely kids would love exploring this ruin (supervised of course). Worth exploring.

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.
