Just a short drive from Duesseldorf, this castle is located in a much quieter, slow paced location. Parking was a bit confusing, but there's a parking lot right down the street and there are signs that direct you to 'schloss parking'. Make sure you bring cash for payment. The castle is more like an estate, and its about a 10 min walk from the parking lot. I bought tickets online, and it's a bit confusing trying to figure out where to go. I wish there was a directory outside that told us what each building was. With the pass we were able to tour a little museum with local animals (all stuffed) and other information about the local land. Across the way, there were stairs to go down that lead us into the estate. You must leave your bags in a small locker room and when you go upstairs, slippers are to be worn over your shoes. The man at the locker room explained all of this to us. The estate was beautiful! It was minimally decorated, but the architecture and wall art was enough to keep everyone's interest. There's a large park in the back that we didn't have time to explore. But overall, I would recommend visiting this estate.

The castle is the Hunting lodge and weekender for the Elector of the Palatinate, an important individual in 18thC politics and History. We visited on a Monday, and it was open for visitors which was a surprise as normally museums are closed on Mondays in Germany. The central building was being renovated at the back sansome views over the gardens, were limited, never the less what we saw was ok. There was a good exhibition on the local wildlife, and how they are affected by the Rhine. Good for small children. The main building had an English audio guide that I ditched after a few minutes as it felt like I was listening to a radio play rather than a guide. The main building has wooden floors, so they make you wear felt slippers on your outdoor shoes, challenging to say the least to walk on, skaters may have more technique. Although restored, the House did look quite grand. There is a Café on-site that serves good coffee and cake at reasonable prices, worth a visit on a wet Monday afternoon.

The buildings and surrounding are very beautiful. People usually do their pre-wedding photoshoot in this location. It has wide garden and bunch of benches in location. Perfect for family picnic during the summer. To reach this area, people usually use a U-Bahn/subway from Düsseldorf Hbf and stop at Schloss Benrath station then simply walk for 2-3 minutes to reach the area. The building entrance in the photo can be found underground, the staff was nice and they are able to speak english, just simply buy your ticket online/buy it on the spot and show it to the staff. If you have a valid student ID, you can have a discount, don't miss the opportunity.

The palace is pretty. We took the guided tour but it was a bit of a disappointment. The tour guide was not very knowledgeable. Also, we were just shown a few rooms. The servant rooms, the passage to other wings were just explained verbally. Also at the upper floor, we could just peep into the guest rooms. Access was denied there too. We would have appreciated if we could access more rooms. The rooms that we saw were, no doubt very pretty. It is a shame to spend 14 euros on a guided tour and see only a few rooms with very little explanation.

Kuzey Ren-Vestfalya eyaletinin başkenti Düsseldorf'un güney Benrath bölgesinde yer almaktadır. 1755'ten 1773'e kadar, Pfalz'lı Elektor Karl Theodore adına Nicolas de Pigage tarafından, Kontes Elisabeth Auguste'nin ikametgahı olarak inşa edilmiştir. Eğlence sarayı , av parkı, göletler ve kanal sistemi topluluğu bulundurmaktadır. Düsseldorf'ta önemli bir mimari sanat eseri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Benrath Kalesi'nin genel izlenimi, Louis Seize'ye stil geçişindeki geç Fransız Rokoko tarzında bir kaleye benzer. Giriş ve salon gibi ana odalar daha tutarlı bir şekilde klasik formlar (goût grec) gösterir; rocaille dekoru hala bahçe salonlarında bulunabilir. Biçimsel olarak tüm bina, inşa edildiği dönemde Kutsal Roma İmparatorluğu'nda (özellikle Prusya ve Avusturya'da) hala korunan geleneksel barok ve rokoko formlarından çok şık ama yine de bilinçli bir ayrılma sergiler. Benrath Kalesinin Geniş Parkı (61,2 hektar ) kalenin güney tarafında uzanmaktadır . Bu, farklı zamanlarda oluşturulmuş çeşitli bahçe alanlarından oluşur. Parkın en eski kısmı, eski kalenin inşa edildiği 17. yüzyıla kadar uzanıyor. 470 metre uzunluğundaki ayna göleti ana ekseni oluşturuyor ve giriş holü ve kubbeli salonla birlikte binanın merkezi eksenine karşılık geliyor. Göletin etrafı çimen şeritleri ve uzun ağaçlarla çevrilidir. Göletin doğusunda limonluğa ulaşıyorsunuz ; Bunlar Urdenbacher Allee'deki kapı binasıyla birlikte orijinal Benrath av köşkünün son kalıntılarıdır. Spiegelweiher'in batısında Ren Nehri'ne uzanan geniş bir av parkı bulunmaktadır

Large green area and pink rococo palace. When we are there at least 3 wedding photos work was there. The large landscape and well maintained trees and flowers creates a good scene for photos 🌳🌳🌳and also the historic building, artificial water and sculptures keeps the feeling of place garden. When you go deeper in the forest you can see big fly and instincts.. good part is location, the u-bahn is so close to it and for the interior I have no idea, next time I will try with learning about its history
