Krefeld-Linn

Brick, water and quieter streets.

Lower Rhine · Germany

Linn invites a slower kind of visit. Leave room for the brickwork, the water around the castle and the short streets of the historic centre. The contrast is the attraction: a fortified silhouette surrounded by spaces that feel surprisingly calm.

A little history

The Burg Linn museum complex brings together a medieval castle, a Baroque hunting lodge and an archaeological museum. Nearby, the German Textile Museum adds another chapter to Krefeld’s cultural story.
