Castle Dyck

Castle Dyck is a moated fortress in Jüchen built on four connected islands separated by water channels. Medieval fortification structures combine with English gardens that flow throughout the entire property.

The site first appeared in written records during the 11th century as a fortification linked to a knight named Hermannus de Disco. Over centuries, the structure was rebuilt and enlarged multiple times until it reached its current form combining medieval walls with garden design.

The castle serves as an international center for garden art, housing plant collections from different regions and regions. You can see how the grounds function as a space for artistic and landscape experimentation.

The grounds are accessible daily and can be explored on your own or with guided tours. Plan time for crossing bridges and viewing the water areas, especially if you want to see the gardens thoroughly.

The castle grounds host a motorsports track that attracts vintage car enthusiasts from across Europe during the annual Classic Days festival. This unexpected combination of historical architecture and automotive history makes the location truly distinctive.
