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

    The walk-in fortifications (casemates), both above and below ground, also invite you to take an exciting tour of the important fortifications that 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 wide range of cultural events and a natural recreation area with extensive green spaces.

      Pretty little castle surrounded by lots of water. With a bit of luck you might catch a glimpse of the kingfishers.

        On a Sunday in November with moderately nice weather, everything was already booked/reserved until 7 p.m. at 3 p.m. So don't rely too much on the idea that "there will be something available"!
