Kattenturm Essen, Medieval castle in Essen, Germany
The Kattenturm, also referred to as Burg Luttelnau, stands as a stone fortress with defensive features along the Ruhr River in Essen's southern district.
The structure dates back to the early medieval period when it served as a strategic defensive position to monitor and control movements along the Ruhr River.
The castle now functions as a restaurant that serves regional German dishes while preserving the historical architecture of the medieval defense tower.
Visitors can access the restaurant from Tuesday to Sunday, with lunch service between 12:00 and 14:30, and dinner service from 17:00 to 20:00.
The establishment combines historical architecture with modern amenities, including an 18-hole mini-golf course and a terrace overlooking the Ruhr River.
