Burg Dinslaken stands in Dinslaken (Kreis Wesel), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Dinslaken stands at the historic core of the town of Dinslaken, in North Rhine-Westphalia. Likely founded as a motte, it served throughout the Middle Ages as one of the principal strongholds of the counts and later dukes of Cleves, before being reduced to an administrative seat. Heavily damaged in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in modern form and now houses, among other functions, the town hall. Visitors will therefore find less a medieval fortress than a civic building resting on medieval foundations.
