Schloss Garath

Schloss Garath is a manor house in Düsseldorf with thick stone walls and medieval building details that was occupied and used over a long period. The basic structure comes from the medieval period, but was rebuilt and expanded several times in later eras.

The estate was established as a noble residence and was first mentioned in writing in 1271 when Bruno von Ganderode signed a contract. Over the centuries it went through various phases of rebuilding and adaptation to new times.

The property displays building traditions from different periods that visitors can observe during their walk. You can see in the walls and details how construction methods changed over the centuries.

The property is reachable via the Garath S-Bahn station, which offers direct connections from central Düsseldorf. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the tour around the grounds is done on foot.

The manor house still preserves the original foundation stones from the medieval period on which it was built more than 750 years ago. These foundations are hidden beneath layers of later renovations but shape the entire building to this day.
