Wasserschloss Borbeck

A special journey through time awaits you at Wasserschloss Borbeck! 🏰 With an interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experience on your smartphones, you can dive directly into history.

A permanent historical exhibition also offers deep insights into the almost 1000-year history of the Essener Stifts and the city. The castle has also been recognized as a “FrauenOrt NRW”, which highlights the special role of its female rulers – for example, in promoting girls' education and enlightened pedagogical ideas.
