Schloß Dyck

Schloss Dyck (Dyck Castle) is one of the most beautiful moated castles in Europe. The original castle was build in 1094 but during the ensuing wars much of the castle was destroyed. However, between 1636 - 1663 it was re-build and has remained, for the most part, unchanged since.

 

In 1794 an English garden, 24 different gardens in all, was added and, as the buildings, has matured in beauty over the centuries.

 

In 1999 a foundation was formed, “Stiftung Schloss Dyck”, to use Schloss Dyck as a cultural center giving visitors an understanding of the history surrounding the castle as well as the beautiful gardens.
