フレーンデンベルク/ルールの洞窟・トップ20

Very beautiful garden with water terrace

Nice to watch as it rolls past.

Great castle from the 13th century in Holzwickede. There is also a nice cafe here

You can drive onto the property from Füchtener Straße and there is a photo spot on the Ruhrtalradweg where you can photograph the Füchten house from a different perspective.

The former aristocratic residence Haus Rodenberg in Dortmund-Aplerbeck originally emerged from a medieval moated castle on the banks of the Emscher and was mentioned in a document as early as 1290. Of the former gardens, only the outer bailey island, the surrounding moats, the house pond and remnants of the wall surrounding the main garden remain. Today the park area is a public green space in the center of the Aplerbeck district.

Highly recommended castle complex. Very nicely laid out and quiet. Ideal for a coffee break.

The garden is characterized by old horse chestnut trees. Today the building is used by the Ruhr Academy: art, photography, illustration, communication design, film acting and film directing are the possible courses of study here.

The oldest and most detailed known depiction of House Rodenberg and its lands is a map from 1801 by Wesermann. Like many aristocratic residences in the Dortmund area, Haus Rodenberg was designed as a fortified complex and was thus completely surrounded by water. Still in keeping with the simple design language of the Renaissance, the parts of the garden were laid out as delimited, almost square areas outside the moats and surrounded by quarry stone walls. In the center of the eastern or main garden was a round pool and a pavilion at the edge. To the north was the tree farm with rows of fruit trees. The small square in the south, also almost square, with quarry stone walls and equipped with the same simple wayside cross, was surrounded by a moat and was therefore also called "water parterre".
