EXHIBITIONS in Mönchengladbach

Rheydt Castle in Mönchengladbach is the only architecturally completely preserved Renaissance castle on the Lower Rhine. Today, the castle and the outer bailey not only house the Municipal Museum of the City of Mönchengladbach, but are also a venue for a variety of cultural events and a local recreation area with extensive green spaces.

The mansion is fully wheelchair accessible. An elevator is available. A wheelchair-accessible toilet with an alarm button is also available.

The outer bailey is not fully accessible for wheelchair users.
The cobblestones on the outside paths can also present a slight barrier. Walking aids with small wheels do not roll comfortably there. Steep inclines cannot be overcome on the paths.

The casemates can only be accessed via stairs.

The museum regularly offers special tours for people with dementia changes, often also for residents of old people`s homes and other facilities. The visit is based on a trip to Rheydt Castle, a "trip into the blue". In conversations, with pictures and original objects, the participants` memories are evoked and reproduced. The path through the museum ends at a coffee table set in the style of the 1950s/60s.

Appointments can be made personally on 02166-9289016 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and on Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.
