Moorish castle from the 10th century that in its time was a palace and where Fernando the Catholic himself set up his camp in the war against Granada.

The setting is very nice, but I don't think it looks like it can be visited, it is closed with a welded iron gate.

The Tower is restored and its interior closed and inaccessible. Next to it are the remains of a cistern and other structures in ruins.

An incredible place with history where Trail Castillo Anzur will be held shortly and aims to be a test that will last in the Cordovan calendar of CxM and FAM tests... Ideal for hiking, trail, bike... In day and night activities.. Which shows that this little corner has a great story to tell with the incomparable setting of sunrise and sunset... Enjoy it and know its routes...

The road is simple without more. It is not difficult to do walking with good shoes. The castle is a tower that can only be seen from the outside.

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.
