Dinslaken Castle

Dinslaken Castle, formerly also known as Dinslaken Castle, is a castle complex in the North Rhine-Westphalian town of Dinslaken. Built on a hill in the former swamp area between the Rhine, Rotbach, Emscher and Lippe, probably as a motte, it was one of the most important Clevish castles in the Middle Ages. In the early modern period, its importance declined, and the complex was used almost exclusively as the seat of rentmasters and judges. Damaged several times by fires, the castle was repeatedly expanded and rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries before it was acquired by the city of Dinslaken at the beginning of the 20th century and converted into the district hall. After severe damage in the Second World War, the fort was rebuilt in modern forms and today serves, among other things, as the town's town hall. It has been a listed building since 4 April 1984.
