Schloss Dyck (English Castle Dyck) is the most important moated castle in the Rhineland region. The castle is located in Jüchen which belongs to the Rhein Kreis Neuss, North Rhine Westphalia in Germany.
The castle was founded first in 1094 as a simple fortification by the knight Hermannus de Disco. The Schloss Dyck castle complex, with its outer fortifications and supply houses, stands on four islands. The baroque building, which was begun to be build in 1656, is ample in size and clearly structured. Dyck is not merely a defensive castle and residence. Characteristic above all for the nature of this largest of Rhenish water castles is the unity of domestic quarters and supply houses: the land was managed from here. The castle park is home to a remarkable collection of rare and precious tree types. Other famous garden artists have shaped Dyck; people like Peter-Josef Lenné, Maximilian Friederich Weyhe and later Hermann Matern. The ensemble is classed as a great piece of Rhenish cultural history and is a popular tourist destination. https://www.rhein-kreis-neuss.de/en/topics/castle-of-dyck/
