Burg Rheindorf stands in Leverkusen (Leverkusen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Rheindorf refers to the remains of a medieval stronghold in the Rheindorf district of Leverkusen. Founded in Carolingian times, it later saw a three-storey Romanesque defensive tower built upon its foundations in the 12th century. That tower now forms part of the Catholic church of Sankt Aldegundis, which was extended over several building phases from the 12th to the 18th century. Visitors come here less for a fortress than for a church that still carries its fortified origins within its walls.

What to know

Only the Romanesque tower survives from the original fortification, now part of the Sankt Aldegundis church.
The building stands in the Rheindorf district of Leverkusen, at Unterstraße 7.
The current rococo-style nave interior dates from building work carried out between 1774 and 1777.
