Magnificent sacred building within sight of the Duisburg inner harbor.

The Salvatorkirche on Burgplatz is right next to Duisburg's town hall. It is the old Duisburg city church, built in the late Gothic style. The tower hood, which has been missing since the Second World War, is a lasting reminder of bad times. Gerhard Mercator and Johannes Clauberg have their final resting place in the church. The church is currently being extensively restored. Unfortunately, the church was closed when I visited, contrary to the stated opening times.

we wanted to see this church today, unfortunately it is only open at certain times, but from the outside it is very worth seeing

The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
