Schloss Kalkum, Castle in Kalkum district, Düsseldorf, Germany

The classical architecture castle features a symmetric four-wing complex surrounded by water, with intermediate buildings connecting the outer bailey and manor house.

Originally established as a knight's seat, the castle underwent transformation from baroque to classical style between 1808 and 1814 under architect Georg Peter Leydel.

The castle grounds include a 19-hectare park designed by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe, displaying the characteristics of English landscape architecture with winding paths.

Located two kilometers northeast of Kaiserswerth, the castle remained empty since 2014 when the North Rhine-Westphalia State Archives relocated to Duisburg.

The castle gained recognition through a notable divorce dispute between Count Edmund von Hatzfeldt and his wife Sophie, commemorated by a memorial pavilion.
