The Kalkum Castle monument is a place steeped in history, with a history going back more than 1000 years. It ranges from the royal court in the 9th century to a medieval knight's seat and a baroque castle of the Counts of Winkelhausen to the glamorous country residence of the Counts and Princes of Hatzfeld in the 19th century. A Countess von Hatzfeld was a great sponsor of Ferdinand Lassalle, for whom she built a mausoleum in the castle park that still exists today after his death.

Very nice and well-preserved lock. The park can be visited free of charge, there are some benches available to linger

We parked in the car park at the Kalkumer Schlossallee station.
On weekdays, this is partly reserved for teachers and students from the high school next door.
So you are almost exactly in the middle between the castle and D - Kaiserswerth and from there you can start your hike or bike tour into the beautiful surroundings, to the castle, to the Rhine or simply through the rapeseed fields.
I cannot say whether there would be more aircraft noise during normal flight operations - Düsseldorf Airport is not far away. (There was a lockdown during our visit!)
