From there, follow your guide through charming streets to Schloss Jägerhof—a Rococo palace famed for its connection to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Once a royal hunting lodge, the residence later became associated with exhibitions dedicated to Goethe’s works, placing it at the heart of Düsseldorf’s artistic and literary heritage.
