Castles and Manor Houses

This collection showcases the architectural heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia, ranging from medieval fortifications to Baroque residences. It features significant sites such as the 12th-century imperial ruins of Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth and the expansive moated castle of Wasserburg Anholt. These locations illustrate the region's historical transition from defensive strongholds like Waldenburg to stately manor houses such as Schloss Kalkum, many of which are situated along the Rhine, Nethe, and Agger rivers.
