All that remains of the former castle in Düsseldorf’s Old Town is this tower, located near the banks of the Rhine, which today houses a maritime museum. The castle was destroyed by a fire in 1872. The tower had been rebuilt in 1845 in the Italian Neo-Renaissance style.
Behind it stands St. Lambertus, the oldest church in the Old Town (built between 1288 and 1394).
