Schloss Baldeney stands in Essen (Essen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 13th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Baldeney stands on the northern shore of the lake that took its name from it, in Essen. Grown out of a medieval moated house founded in the 13th century by Count Adolf I of the Marck, it retains a residential tower from the 14th and 15th centuries flanked by wings from the 17th and 18th centuries, later reworked in the 19th. Now a private residence, the Schloss cannot be visited, but its Ruhr sandstone architecture can be admired from the lakeside or during a boat excursion.

What to know

  • The Schloss is a privately owned, inhabited residence and cannot be visited inside.
  • A public path from Freiherr-vom-Stein-Strasse leads to the grounds, and the building can be viewed from the lakeshore.
  • A boat trip on the Baldeneysee allows visitors to see the building from the water.
  • The adjoining chapel, dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, can be rented for weddings but is not otherwise open to visitors.
  • The site is listed as a Baudenkmal in North Rhine-Westphalia.
