Completely unexpected wonderful experience. Thanks to a coffee taken at the sports bar we had the pleasure of having Mr. MAYOR as a guide who gave us a beautiful morning. Castello ok, SYNAGOGUE, THEATER which is a real unparalleled gem and to rightly finish the JEWISH CEMETERY, all lavishly illustrated by our occasional exceptional companion. Wonderful morning. Resulting in a recommended restaurant. Highly recommended

Gonzaga Castle, inserted in the context of the historic center, gives a bit of mystery on a day with a clouded sky. Listening carefully you can hear carts advance slowly and artisans at work, peasants and traders repeating the verse on the street and the clatter of arms of soldiers on guard, somewhere smells and perfumes of taverns ...

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.
