Guided Story

Imagine yourself standing here in the 15th century. The air is filled with the sounds of a bustling castle: blacksmiths at work, the clatter of horses, the clash of swords. Look to your left—there might have been the great hall where feasts took place. Behind you, perhaps in the safety of the walls, the servants carried out their duties. These brick walls were a marvel of engineering at the time. Did you know that Archbishop Dietrich II of Moers granted a knight, Friedrich of Hüls, the right to build this castle? He was a man of power and influence, keen to establish his presence here. Let the silence of the ruins envelop you and feel the history that lives within these stones.
