Landsberg Castle

Castle
castle with extensive gardens and park
Landsberg Castle, located on the city border between Essen and Ratingen, enchants with its historical charm. This impressive complex, which dates back to a medieval hilltop castle from the 13th century, was converted into a prestigious residence by the industrialist August Thyssen in the 20th century. Today the castle belongs to theThyssen-Krupp Foundation. The park, which has been largely restored to its original form, including the surrounding forest area, invites visitors to take relaxing walks and experience nature.
