Burg Kakesbeck, Medieval castle in Lüdinghausen, Germany.
The castle features a main house from 1250, defensive towers, and a network of moats extending over thirty thousand cubic meters.
Founded by Frankish knight Kahr in 800, the castle passed through several noble families including the Lords of Oer and Counts of Droste zu Vischering.
The Gothic chapel, built in 1488 by Lambert von Oer, contains murals depicting significant historical figures for visitor contemplation.
The castle remains under private ownership and requires advance notification for interior visits, with limited public access to the grounds.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered Roman artifacts and prehistoric graves, indicating continuous human presence over millennia.
