    A tour of the castle complex is worthwhile, and a visit to the gastronomy that uses sustainably produced and healthy food is also recommended.

      The current appearance of the three-part system (Torburg, Vorburg, Haupthaus) is largely due to construction work from the years 1558 to 1570. The then castle lord Otto von Bylandt had entrusted Maximilian Pasqualini (1534–1572), son of the Italian master builder Alessandro Pasqualini.

        Rheydt Castle in Mönchengladbach is the only architecturally completely preserved Renaissance castle on the Lower Rhine. The Renaissance architecture visible today and unchanged since its construction was created when the castle was owned by the von Bylandt family.

        The walk-in fortifications (casemates), both above ground and underground, invite you to take an exciting tour of the important fortifications, which were controversial at the time of their construction.

        Today, the castle and the outer bailey not only house the Municipal Museum of the City of Mönchengladbach, but are also a venue for a variety of cultural events and a natural recreation area with extensive green spaces.
