Beautiful castle ruins to visit, we rented some bikes in Dusseldorf and bikes along the Rhine to get here which was a lovely day trip. Worth the visit, there’s some other cool building to walk around and see in the area as well.

The ruins of this medieval imperial castle on the banks of the Rhine are one of the most atmospheric spots near Düsseldorf. Built in the 11th century, it once served as a residence for Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Even in ruins, the scale and presence of the site are impressive.

Nearby, the charming historic town of Kaiserswerth offers cozy cafés and narrow cobbled streets.
