Schloß Pesch, Medieval castle in Meerbusch, Germany

Schloss Pesch features a three-winged structure with a main house containing 13 window axes, surrounded by three auxiliary buildings and a clock tower.

The castle property, first documented in 1311 as Peschhof, changed ownership in 1368 when Knight Godert Knop transferred House Pesch to his wife.

The castle grounds contain remnants of Roman settlements, including the Gripswald matron stones and Mercury stones, indicating early civilization presence.

The castle buildings now serve as residential condominiums and business offices, with the surrounding forest accessible through walking paths.

During the Seven Years War in 1758, French soldiers established their camp northwest of the castle before participating in the Battle of Krefeld.
