One of the best museum! Great materials, interesting storyline, info is smartly delivered! In 1.5 hour you would know everything about Jura: history, geography, path through centuries, culture, heritage! By the way, you can buy the materials for 15chf, as they are so well done, information is truly interested. By the time in museum is difficult to put everything into mind, so nice to discover the details later!

Interesting and very modern designed museum around the Jura. Rooms divided according to various topics such as religion, politics, geography, etc. with good but not too detailed information and, in some cases, interactive exhibits. Worth a visit. Friendly staff

The Jura Museum of Art and History is one of the 50 best museums in Switzerland that is well worth seeing. The processing of the historically very comprehensive history of the Jura and the modern way it is presented to the visitor is instructive and exciting at the same time. WORTH SEEING

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.
