Kaiserpfalz Castle

Among Germany's castles, few spots capture the character of Düsseldorf fortifications quite like Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth. Just north of the city, this site offers timeworn ruins and dramatic stories from the days of the Holy Roman Emperors. Even in its worn state, the castle stands as a powerful reminder of the region’s medieval strength and shifting tides of power.
