Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth, Medieval castle ruins in Kaiserswerth district, Düsseldorf, Germany.
The stone walls of Kaiserpfalz rise along the Rhine River, featuring remnants of Romanesque architecture and a monumental staircase from the 12th century.
Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa constructed this fortification in 1184 as a customs post to collect Rhine tolls and control river trade routes.
The palace ruins represent medieval German imperial power and serve as an educational site about the Holy Roman Empire's administrative system.
The archaeological site opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available through the Kaiserpfalz Kaiserswerth association by advance reservation.
The palace's strategic position allowed it to control Rhine navigation, leading to the diversion of the river in 1215 during a successful rescue mission.
