Tips

Bachem Castle is now privately owned and serves as a residential building. Viewings are not possible.
In front of the street you go to the outer bailey to the entrance gate. That was the end of it for me and you can read the rest on Wikipedia. If you want a view of the main castle and the moat, then you should take the street Am Haus Broich into the forest. In winter, when the trees have no leaves, you can get a good view.

The castle is located in a hollow. It is surrounded by a moat and is itself built on sunken wooden piles. The piles must be constantly under water so that they do not rot. However, the water supply (from Berrenrather Strasse) can dry up periodically.
