Schloss Borbeck, Medieval castle in Essen, Germany.
The castle features two angular towers, Renaissance architecture, and stands surrounded by a 42-hectare park with French-style gardens and water features.
The castle originated in the 12th century under the Borchard von Borbeck family and served as a residence for abbesses from the 14th to 16th centuries.
The castle functions as a cultural center, presenting regular art exhibitions and hosting educational programs in its historical chambers and halls.
Visitors can access the castle through public transportation, explore the interior rooms, and enjoy meals at the restaurant overlooking the moat.
The castle held minting rights in the 15th century, producing its own currency known as the Borbeck florin under Abbess Sophie von Gleichen.
