A remarkable residential complex has been created here from old walls.
Old can also be harmoniously combined with new.

The Gastendonk moated castle is located in the northeast of the Kempen district of St. Hubert, right on the city limits of Krefeld. It is a former knight's seat, the origins of which can be traced back to around the year 1000. The name with the suffix "Donk" indicates that the first building was located on a natural elevation in a water-rich area, a name that is very common on the Lower Rhine. The first documented mention of the name Gastendonk dates back to 1274. In the 14th century, the knight's seat was owned by the Knights of Eyll.
