    Unique architecture and the buildings look amazing and special. You can see the type of windows is different and not like other places. The building looks like they are separated blocks on top of each other like lego

    With his spectacular buildings, the world-famous Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry gave Düsseldorf a new landmark when it was completed in 1999 at the new Zollhof in the Rheinhof media center. The three parts of the building contrast with each other and the southern and northern buildings are reflected in the middle part of the building. There is also a hotel here, I don't know how you live inside, but the view is certainly magnificent!

    They're very interesting. Original, unusual architecture with a reflective facade. The surroundings are great too. Cafes, quiet little harbor. Here you can make yourself comfortable. In any case, the area is a must for tourists

    An iconic visit in the city. The surrounding area is great for a walk at any time of the day and you can snap some photos of the buildings from different perspectives.

    The buildings are truly spectacular! A great place to work right on the water! So working here is definitely fun! You should take a look when you're in Düsseldorf! It's worth it and you can also take a great walk! 🤓

    Der Neue Zollhof is a prominent landmark of Düsseldorf-Hafen, part of the redeveloped port of Düsseldorf. The building consists of three separate buildings, designed by American architect Frank O. Gehry and completed in 1998. I believe it worth the visit to appreciate a different architecture. Maybe sit in the garden on the opposite side of the buildings and observe them during a picnic break.

    The Gehry buildings are really beautiful and modern houses. They are great for taking photos. In general you are in one of the most beautiful corners in Düsseldorf. Just a few meters further you come to the harbor, which is definitely worth a look. Unfortunately, it has to be said that the Gehry buildings are no longer in such good condition. For example, the plaster on the white house is crumbling... and the houses need to be renovated. But overall they are worth a look.

    Gehry has designed yet another stunning building which has not only become a local icon but is quickly becoming an icon for the city of Dusseldorf itself. The buildings surrounding the building compliment it too.

    Beautiful, extraordinary buildings in the media harbor. You should have seen it if you are in Düsseldorf.

    Absolute eye-catcher, you can plan enough time. How does Hans Albers' statue get there? Exciting story

  • 5/5 Marco de G. 5 years ago on Google • 226 reviews
    Beautiful designed office buildings by the famous architect Frank Gehry. Completed in 1999 it most certainly helped the transition from harbor city to design and arts. The complex consists of 3 buildings with a white and brick facade connected visually by a steel reflective one.

  • 5/5 Ugo R. 1 year ago on Google • 224 reviews
    It is always a pleasure to see some architectural complex thought by an archistar. Frank Gehry is a master and this residential complex hardly can't be appreciated. The whole area is very interesting, I recommend to come and have a walk for all lover of modern architecture.

    Well-known buildings whose facades unfortunately no longer look so “fresh”. Otherwise great skyline with the Rhine Tower.

  • 4/5 Parshva J. 4 years ago on Google • 54 reviews
    The shapes of these three buildings is something which catches the eye! Definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 John S. 9 months ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Really interesting architecture here. I had a great time taking photos here and the vibes are great. Its also very near a lot of other popular spots so it's well worth a stop if you're in the area

    You can take the Bus to a station called " Rheinturm " and from there walk down to Gehry Builduings "Gehry Bauten" . Interesting, funny architecture and worth a visit. Continue the walk down to Old city, it takes you around 30 min walking. Best visited on a Weekend. I recommend buying a 24 hours public transport ticket in Dusseldorf ( 7.60 Euro ) to enjoy the whole city for one day and plan in advance the places to visit.
