Directly on the banks of the Rhine rise the picturesque ruins of the Imperial Palace of the legendary Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. The palace, originally dating back to the 10th century, was expanded under Emperor Henry III and later by Emperor Barbarossa after he relocated the Rhine toll from the Netherlands to Kaiserswerth, as he needed a fortress dominating the Rhine. The location for the palace was well chosen. Because the Rhine forms a gentle curve here, it can be clearly seen over a long stretch. Even today, the castle complex consists of imposing walls up to four and a half meters thick. The idyllic castle path offers a magnificent view of the palace.

Kalkum Castle is Düsseldorf's only moated castle and an outstanding example of neoclassical palace architecture in the Rhineland. The picturesque setting serves as a venue for classical concerts. In the mid-19th century, the castle gained notoriety due to a protracted divorce dispute between its then owner. The approximately 19-hectare castle park, designed by landscape architect Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe as an English landscape garden, is now a publicly accessible recreational area. One preserved relic is the former garden pavilion, which now houses a memorial to the politician Ferdinand Lassalle.

The castle belongs to the HHU Düsseldorf, but really nice

The park is closed from 10:00 p.m. to 06:00 a.m.

The beginnings of the imperial palace go back to the year 700.

A nice little gem on the outskirts.

With Minkeln Castle in Düsseldorf's Himmelgeist district.
