Activities in DusseldorfIndividual Sights in DusseldorfSight 1: Kaiserpfalz
The ruins of the Kaiserswerth Imperial Palace are located in the Kaiserswerth district of Düsseldorf. The Palatinate dates back to a monastery founded by the monk Suitbert (us) around 700. At that time, the Frankish housekeeper Pippin the Middle and his wife Plektrudis gave the Anglo-Saxon monk an artificially created Rhine island by circumnavigating the old arm of the Rhine, on which there was already a Franconian Fronhof – protected by an earth wall, ditch and palisades. In the following period, this developed into a defensive customs fortress. On 23 December 1982, the complex was entered into the town's list of monuments in the category of castles, manor houses, fortifications, palaces.

The former collegiate church and today's parish church of St. Suitbertus is a flat-roofed, three-aisled pillar basilica in the Düsseldorf district of Kaiserswerth. The parish of the same name belongs to the Catholic parish community of Angerland/Kaiserswerth.
