A local would say...

A castle that looks like a childhood dream houses the largest collection of Joseph Beuys in the world — the most unexpected art destination in Germany.

A fairy-tale moated castle with Rapunzel towers, Romeo-and-Juliet balcony, and creeping ivy, medieval in origin but with its current fairy-tale look dating from the 19th century. Since 1997 it houses a private modern-art collection including one of the world's largest collections of Joseph Beuys works. Set dramatically amid sweeping Lower Rhine pastures.
