In the middle of a beautiful park lies Schloss Borbeck, whose eventful, thousand-year history is closely interwoven with the Abbey and the city of Essen.

In 1744 and 1764, Prince Abbess Franziska Christine added Baroque elements to the Renaissance building. In 1941, the city of Essen bought it. Today the castle is a meeting place. You can attend concerts, exhibitions, seminars and conferences, take part in art, dance and music courses, dine and even get married.

How to get to Borbeck Castle:

By car:
Take the A 40 motorway (exit no. 18 "Mülheim-Winkhausen / Essen Borbeck") onto "Aktienstraße" in the direction of Essen-Borbeck and follow it to the end of the road; then turn right along "Frintroper Straße" (B231 in the direction of Essen); here take the first left into "Fürstenbergstraße"; at the end of this street turn left into "Schloßstraße". Free parking is available along Schloßstraße.
If you want to drop people off directly at the castle, you can stop just before the castle, but not park, as this is a fire station.
There is a designated disabled parking space in front of the farm building.

By public transport:
Take the DB lines S 9 and RE14 to "Essen-Borbeck" station, then take bus line 140 to the "Schloß Borbeck" stop (directly at the castle) or tram line 103 to the "Schloß Borbeck" stop (approx. 5 min. walk).
Line 103 already runs from the "Rathaus" stop in Essen city centre.
