Schloss Rurich, Medieval château in Hückelhoven, Germany.

The castle features a two-story plastered mansion with flat lateral risalites, a mansard roof, and a three-wing barn complex surrounded by water.

Originally constructed as a fortified house in 1248, the current structure was built between 1787 and 1790 under the direction of Gustav Vincent von Hompesch.

The Neo-Gothic brick chapel, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, demonstrates the religious architectural elements from 1862 to 1865.

The estate includes twenty hectares of English landscape gardens with walking paths, allowing visitors to explore the natural surroundings throughout the seasons.

The park contains one of Germany's largest tulip trees, along with notable specimens including Ginkgo Biloba and Atlas cedars.
