Burg Nideggen, Medieval castle in Nideggen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The castle sits on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Rur Valley, with thick stone walls and a fortified keep measuring 20 meters in height.
Built in 1177, the castle served as the residence of the Counts of Jülich and played a central role in defending the region during medieval times.
The castle museum, established in 1979 within the keep, presents exhibitions about medieval life through artifacts and multimedia presentations.
The castle museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year, with guided tours available for groups and schools.
