Schloss Diersfordt

Schloss Diersfordt is a moated castle in the Wesel district of Diersfordt, which dates back to a medieval castle of the Lords of Wylich and can look back on a history of around 700 years. As a fief of the Counts of Mark and the Dukes of Cleves, the complex was owned by the Counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode from 1831 until the 1990s after the extinction of the von Wylich family. Both families expanded it and finally converted it into a late Baroque style castle. Completely destroyed by a fire in 1928, it was rebuilt from 1929 onwards in a greatly simplified form.
