Not only the castle park, but also the agricultural and village areas around the Kalkum moated castle are designated as the "Schwarzbachaue landscape conservation area". The castle park, which faces west, was laid out in the form of a large semicircle in the English landscape style around 1810 by the Düsseldorf garden architect Maximilian Weyhe. The park is popular with residents and guests as a local recreation area.

Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe's design for the Kalkum Castle Park dates from 1808. The central element he envisaged was a landscape garden in the English style, which had the typical components of this type of park: visual axes, curved paths, groups of trees and solitary trees. The old castle mill from the 18th century on the southern edge of the park was included in the design. Weyhe also took the existing gardens on the west and south sides of the castle into account in his plan. (...)

Hiking

The castle park is very well maintained and invites you to take a stroll. The shady arcade is particularly beautiful in summer. The branching paths offer interesting perspectives of the castle. Unfortunately, the interior of the castle is not accessible.
