The 5 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia
Just across the Rhine River from Dusseldorf, Neuss was founded by the Romans in 16 B.C., as the military colony of Novaesium, making it one of Germany's oldest Roman settlements. The town thrived in the Middle Ages, and in the late 15th century staved off the Siege of Neuss by Burgundian leader Charles the Bold. Museum Insel Hombroich is one of the city's main attractions, a unique venue fusing nature, art and architecture amid the heavy industrialization of the Rhine-Ruhr area.

The Tadao Ando pavilion is a wonder of architecture, a hidden gem: the smooth and soft concrete which acts like a sculpture, the small layer of water outside, the views from the inside. We visited a great exhibition of Alicja Kwade, with installations which fittted in perfectly: reflections, poetry, meditation. The art emphasized the architecture and vice versa.

The old military base can be visited and is a strange place to wander. There are several reminders of the past, but it is also a place for art. Excellent exhibition in the Alvaro Siza pavillion. Not every building can be visited, Fits perfectly in a day program with Museum Insel Hombroich nearby, The entrance to the exhibition was free with the museum ticket.
