Incorporated into the city in 1929, Kaiserswerth is one of Düsseldorf's oldest (and poshest) neighborhoods and is a wonderful place to explore Baroque buildings and the picture-perfect location on the Rhine.

 Tracing its roots back to the 13th century is the Church of St. Suitbertus, noted for its beautiful reliquary of the saint.

 Even older is the Kaiserpfalz, the imperial stronghold of Emperor Frederick I, also known as Barbarossa. 

Although mostly ruins, the scale of the site still impresses, with walls more than four meters thick
