Burg Wissem Museum der Stadt Troisdorf, Picture book museum and historic castle in Troisdorf, Germany
The rectangular structure of Burg Wissem features a water moat, two diagonal corner towers, and a classicist plaster building on its south side.
First documented in 1474, Burg Wissem originated during the Merovingian period as a water fortress and served as the ancestral seat of the Lords of Troisdorf.
Since 1982, the castle houses Europe's only museum dedicated to picture book art and youth book illustration, showcasing a century of illustrative styles.
The museum complex, which includes the Nature Portal and Industrial History Museum, opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with free entry to the portal.
The castle grounds contain a sensory experience field with fourteen interactive stations based on Hugo Kükelhaus concepts, connecting visitors with natural elements.
