Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth
Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth is one of Düsseldorf’s most atmospheric historical landmarks, offering a glimpse into the city’s imperial past. Located on the banks of the Rhine in the northern district of Kaiserswerth, these majestic ruins date back to the 12th century when Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa commissioned the fortress as a strategic customs post. Built atop earlier fortifications from the 11th century, the site once served as a powerful stronghold controlling river traffic. Though partially destroyed in 1702 during the War of the Spanish Succession, the remaining walls—some over four meters thick—still evoke the grandeur of medieval imperial architecture. Today, the open-air site is freely accessible and popular for scenic walks, historical exploration, and panoramic views of the Rhine. Its romantic decay and riverside setting make it a favorite among photographers and history enthusiasts alike.
