Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Wasserschloss Hackhausen

Hochwasserrückhaltebecken Wasserschloss Hackhausen is a unique combination of history and nature in Solingen.

Surrounded by a small moat and connected by a stone bridge, this picturesque water castle was rebuilt in 1907 in neo-Rococo style after a fire destroyed the original medieval structure.

The area is ideal for nature and history lovers, offering scenic walking trails along the Viehbach River and through the surrounding woods. The reservoir is an important part of the local hydrology, and the entire complex makes a unique setting for photographers and artists.
