"Haus zum Haus" Castle
The 'Haus zum Haus' is a moated castle dating from the 13th century on the Anger Creek in Ratingen.
The moated castle was built around 1276 as the ancestral seat of the noble family "vom Haus" and was part of a series of defensive installations along the Anger, the so-called "Angerline".
Due to the numerous alterations and extensions, only a few parts of the castle still represent the original state from the 13th century.
The castle complex in its present form consists of the main castle and the outer castle, both surrounded by a moat, which is no longer completely preserved.
Today the castle houses a cultural center, residential buildings, a restaurant and an architectural office.
