Castle Dyck

To make a day of it

Schloss Dyck stands in Jüchen (Rhein-Kreis Neuss), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Adult admission costs 13.5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on October 16, 2026.

Schloss Dyck rises from its own moat in Jüchen, within the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district of North Rhine-Westphalia. Home for centuries to the counts and later princes of Salm-Reifferscheid, the four-winged manor with corner towers was rebuilt in the 17th century after the ravages of the Thirty Years' War, on a site first recorded as a fortification in 1094. Its wider fame today rests on the English landscape garden laid out from 1794 onward, now run as a centre for garden art. Visitors come both for the moated buildings and for the mature trees and grounds surrounding them.

What to know

• According to the German encyclopedic entry, the castle and grounds are open year round.
• The historic interior lost its library and its weapons collection, both auctioned off in 1991 and 1992, which limits what can be seen inside the main building today.
• The English landscape garden, with trees over two centuries old, forms the main part of most visits.
• The grounds also house a hotel, a registry office and shops, which are not part of the heritage visit.
• No opening hours, admission fees or accessibility details are given in the verified facts, so these should be checked before visiting.
