Amazing, beautiful pearl of wooden architecture, but (!) The community does not let in, and even the surrounding area. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, and here it is ... I hope it will not be so

I visited here for the first time yesterday: July 23, 2021. Unfortunately, the fence around, the gate is closed ... On the one hand it is protection from criminals, on the other - visitors can't look in the middle of a temple at least through a window ...

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.
