For the adventurous among visitors, the castle offers a perfect backdrop for discoveries. It is an ideal place for groups who want to travel back in time together and explore the stories of the old walls. Numerous events and exhibitions bring a breath of fresh air to the old halls and make the place a lively part of the modern Ruhr region.
