Schloss Leyenburg, Architectural heritage monument in Rheurdt, Germany

The Schloss Leyenburg rises in North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring a Rococo design with classical modifications made during the 19th century.

First mentioned in 1349 as House Kiekhorst, the estate was transformed into a hunting palace in 1772 by the von der Leyen silk manufacturing family.

The interior rooms display stucco ceilings with medallions created by masters of the Düsseldorf School of Painting.

The castle underwent extensive restoration after 2001, earning the Rhenish Monument Prize in 2004 for its preservation efforts.

The gallery contains small sculptures reproducing works from artists ranging from Dürer to Raphael.
