Ammarnäs Chapel

Ammarnäs, Sorsele, Sweden

The chapel of Ammarnäs was built in 1910-1912 by the design of Torben Grut. The earlier one, made in 1858, was demolished when the new chapel was completed.

There are couple of small, 300 years old market cottages surrounding the church. This church town was called as Lapplatsen and had been purposed for people who came to worships from long distances.

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.
