Guided Story

Imagine standing on a path walked by countless others seeking solace and inspiration through the centuries. Look up at the grand facade of St. Margareta Basilica. It's more than just stone; it's a testament to centuries of history. These thick walls whisper tales of the nuns who lived here as early as the 9th century, long before modern Düsseldorf came into being. Listen closely, and you might hear the echoes of the past in the quiet arches above. Behind you, to the southeast, stands the Quadenhof, adding another layer of history to the scene. Feel the calmness? It invites you to pause and admire the magnificence of time.
