It's always nice to go. They treat you like a citizen and you feel part of the municipal administration. Rafa, the municipal architect, is an involved public servant. A crack. The best.

It smells weird inside and I think I saw a rat, it was a rat or a small cat I don't know exactly. They should check the plumbing.

It had not been there for 2 years, renovated. Super friendly, efficient and excellent treatment, nothing to do with what we are used to in public administrations.

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.
